An IED exploded behind a traffic checkpoint above the Ring Road in Giza late Sunday, the Interior Ministry has announced.

The explosion left no casualties and bomb squads combed the area for more devices, the ministry said.

Explosions and gun attacks targeting police and army forces have left hundreds of personnel dead since the ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood government in 2013. The government blames the currently-outlawed group for most of the attacks.
