Clashes in Cairo’s Tahrir Square between supporters and opponents of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi killed one person on Monday, a medical source told AFP.
One person died in hospital after being hit by gunfire during the clashes, Mohammed Sultan, deputy head of the emergency services, told AFP.
He added that at least another 26 people were injured in the violence, mostly by birdshot.
The clashes erupted on Monday evening when a march by supporters of the ousted president passed near Tahrir Square, the epicentre of the protests that lead to his ouster by the army on July 3.
