CAIRO (AP) – A Daesh affiliate in Egypt has claimed responsibility for an attack that killed at least five troops in the restive part of Sinai Peninsula.

The terrorist group announced its claim of Wednesday’s attack in a statement carried by its Aamaq news agency. The authenticity of the statement could not be verified but it was released on Telegram, as similar claims have been in the past. The attack involved a militant ambush against a border guard checkpoint west of the Mediterranean city of Rafah, which borders the Gaza Strip.
