Three people died and around 200 others were arrested during violent demonstrations marking the anniversary of the ouster of Egypt's former president Mohammed Morsi on Thursday.
The Interior Ministry said the two fatalities, both suspected militants, died while handling explosives that accidentally detonated in an apartment outside Cairo.

Another Morsi supporter was killed in a clash between protesters and authorities in Giza.
Five passengers were also injured when a homemade bomb exploded inside a train in Alexandria. Report say the bomb was kept in a suitcase under one of the chairs of the train.
Helwan, a district in South of Cairo, reported that one policeman was killed and two other people were wounded when protesters lobbed a firebomb directly at a police station and the police fired back at the protesters.
In the district of Imbaba, three separate bombings damaged police stations but there no fatalities.
Bombings also targeted police stations and railway stations in Assiut, a city with a large number of Islamists, on Thursday.
Even the Giza Pyramids were not deemed safe when two explosive devices were found buried near the area.
The Egyptian government blamed these violent attacks on the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization which Morsi hailed.
