None
CAIRO - Egypt's military said Wednesday three officers have been killed in the last week in the restive northern Sinai Peninsula, where it is battling an Islamic State-led insurgency.
Another two troops were wounded, while 30 militants were killed.
The military said at least 173 suspects have been arrested. It said airstrikes in the Western Desert destroyed 10 vehicles laden with weapons and ammunition.
It was not possible to independently confirm the claims as access to the northern Sinai is heavily restricted.
