CAIRO—Egyptian security forces have killed 40 suspected terrorists in three separate incidents in North Sinai and Giza, the ministry of interior said on Dec. 29, a day after a deadly bombing on a Vietnamese tourist bus in Giza killed four people.

The ministry did not say whether the suspected terrorists were connected to Friday’s attack, but said its forces killed 30 people during raids on their hideouts in Giza where it said “terrorist elements” were planning a series of attacks targeting state institutions and the tourism industry.
