A security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said an explosive device targeted the policemen’s patrol car south of the border town of Rafah, located 340 kilometers (211 miles) east of the capital, Cairo, on Sunday, Lebanon-based al-Mayadeen news network reported.
No individual or group has claimed responsibility for the act of violence yet. Security forces have launched an investigation into the attack.
The development came only three days after at least four children were killed and eight others wounded when Egyptian army troops clashed with ISIS militants in Sinai.
The Egyptian military has been engaged in operations to quell acts of terrorism and militancy in the Sinai Peninsula. It views the volatile region as a sanctuary for extremists, who use it as a safe haven.
