Egypt's Interior Ministry said Friday that an explosion in Egypt's central Beni Sueif province had killed four members of the Muslim Brotherhood and injured a fifth.
The blast, which occurred on a farm, was caused by an explosive substance that detonated in a room with the five people inside, the ministry said in a statement.
Investigators found a large amount of the chemical substance and equipment used to make explosive charges, the ministry said.
Earlier in the day, a security source said five people had been killed by an explosion near a security checkpoint in the town of Biba in Egypt's central Beni Sueif province.
The bodies were badly charred, making it difficult for authorities to immediately identify the victims, the source said.
Bombings have become commonplace in Egypt since Mohamed Morsi – Egypt's first democratically elected president – was ousted by the army in mid-2013.
The government accuses Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group of carrying out the attacks.
The Brotherhood, for its part, denies the allegations, saying it is committed to purely peaceful forms of protest.
