Two people were killed and 30 policemen were wounded when a suicide bomber attacked a police barracks in Egypt's Sinai peninsula on Tuesday.

The suicide bomber tried to ram a water tanker filled with explosives into the rear gate of a police base in al-Arish. Police opened fire on the vehicle, which caused the explosives to detonate.

"The security forces were on alert and repelled the [vehicle] by firing at it without hesitation, which led to its explosion and the death of its driver," the interior ministry said in a statement, according to Reuters.

The suicide bomber and a civilian were killed, while 30 policemen were wounded.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
