At least 25 people were killed and 78 injured in a bomb explosion inside a church in Egypt’s Tanta, north of Cairo, Reuters reports, citing Egypt’s Ministry of Health.
Egyptian officials have confirmed that the incident was a bomb explosion, according to AP. The explosive device was pre-planted in the prayer hall, according to Al-Manar broadcaster.
“There was a huge explosion in the hall. Fire and smoke filled the room and the injuries were extremely severe. I saw the intestines of those injured and legs severed entirely from their bodies,” Reuters quoted Vivian Fareeg as saying.
Graphic images and footage presumably from inside the church have emerged, showing people gathered around apparently lifeless bodies.
“There was blood all over the floor and body parts scattered,” an eyewitness told Reuters.
