Egypt’s army said that a missile hit the airport in Arish in North Sinai on
Tuesday, killing an officer and injuring two others.

The missile attack has also caused “partial damage” to a helicopter, the
military said in a statement.

The airport was targeted during a visit by Egypt’s defence and interior
ministers to inspect forces and security in the city, the statement added.

The statement did not specify if the attack was aimed at a military target
in the city, or the international airport there.

Security forces have “dealt with the source of fire” and combed the
surrounding area, the statement added, without elaborating further.

The Egyptian military has for several years been fighting an Islamist
insurgency based in the border North Sinai region; insurgents have killed
hundreds of soldiers and policemen.
