At least 20 people have been killed, and 35 others injured in an explosion near Cairo’s Coptic Christian Cathedral, Reuters reports citing Egyptian state TV. No one has claimed responsibility for the blast yet.
The latest attack comes two days after two roadside bombs, one in Cairo and one to the north of the capital, left six police officers dead and six others injured.

The bomb was reportedly placed in a female handbag in a seat in the back of the church, and the explosion hit the section where female worshipers mainly stood, which is why the majority of the victims are women, Egyptian reporter for The Washington Post, Heba Farouk Mahfouz, posted on Twitter.
