The minister also reported three deaths in Assiut, nine in Cairo, including one at the presidential palace, and eight in front of the Muslim Brotherhood's headquarters in Mokattam.

He added that all of the injured people were dismissed from the local hospitals where they were admitted for treatment, except for 183 of them who still require medical attention.
