A bomb targeting a police station in Egypt’s restive Sinai Peninsula killed a civilian and wounded 24 policemen, security and health officials said.

The early morning attack took place in the North Sinai provincial capital of El-Arish, the officials said.

Militants have stepped up attacks in the peninsula since the army’s ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
