Violence has continued in Egypt, with two supporters of Egypt's ousted President Muhammad Morsi reported to have been killed and others injured in Cairo.

The pro-Morsi Muslim Brotherhood said on its website that police in civilian clothes had opened fire on Morsi supporters during a march early on July 24.

There was no confirmation of the casualties from Egyptian health authorities.

In a separate incident, at least 17 people were reported injured when a bomb exploded outside a police station in a province north of Cairo, in Mansoura in the Nile Delta.

Egypt has been racked with sometimes deadly violence since Morsi was ousted by the military on July 3 following massive public protests against his government.

The Muslim Brotherhood has vowed to continue protests until Morsi is reinstated.
