At least 12 people, including foreigners, have been injured in a bomb explosion in the Egyptian capital Cairo, police say.
They said the blast happened outside a cafe in the historic Khan el-Kalili area popular with tourists.
It was a relatively small blast and was most likely caused by a home-made explosive device, police say.
The explosion occurred near the Hussein mosque and a well-known bazaar which was crowded with shoppers.
The area has been sealed off as bomb disposal experts are trying to defuse a second device which failed to explode, reports say.
So far no-one has claimed responsibility for the blast.
The area was targeted in 2005, when three people - including an American and a French tourists - were killed in a blast.
Sunday's explosion would be of a huge concern to Egypt's security services, the BBC's Christian Fraser in Cairo says.
These are tense times for the Egyptian government, our correspondent says.
He adds that the government has been criticised for its stance over over a recent conflict in Gaza and has many enemies.
Bit of an update.
