Thirteen "terrorists" were killed by Egyptian security forces after a gunfire exchange in Cairo's October 6 suburb on Wednesday, a security source said.
This comes in tandemn with ongoing clashes in between security forces and militants in North Sinai.
The militants were killed in a raid on a headquarters that they were using to hide, the source added.
On Tuesday, three "terrorists" were killed in the same neighbourhood while trying to bomb a car in the vicinity of the October 6 Police Station, security sources said.
Meanwhile, attacks on security checkpoints and facilities have left 70 casualties among security personnel, ranging from deaths to injuries, a security source said.
The attacks were followed by clashes with militants. So far over 30 militants have been killed in the clashes, the source added.
The Sinai-based militant group Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis claimed responsibility for the attacks. The group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State fighters in Syria and Iraq last November, changing its name to Sinai Province.
