At least two foreign tourists have been injured in an attack at a hotel in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada.
The attackers arrived by sea to carry out the assault, Reuters reported, quoting Egyptian security sources.
Egyptian state TV says local security forces repelled the attack and one assailant has been killed.
The attack took place at the Bella Vista hotel. Reports vary as to the nationalities of the victims, and whether they were shot or stabbed.
Hurghada is on the Red Sea coast, across the water from the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, from where the Russian passenger plane which crashed in the Sinai peninsula took off on 31 October.
After that crash, which killed 224 people and was claimed by so-called Islamic State, the UK and other European countries halted flights to Sharm el-Sheikh, citing security fears.
