Missile fired at Sinai's Arish airport kills officer and injures two others: Egypt military
[AlAhram] Egypt's army said that a missile hit the airport in Arish in North Sinai on Tuesday, killing an officer and injuring two others.

The missile attack has also caused "partial damage" to a helicopter, the military said in a statement.

The airport was targeted during a visit by Egypt's defence and interior ministers to inspect forces and security in the city, the statement added.
Update from Al Ahram at 11:20p.m. ET:
The ISIS-affiliated Ansar Beit al-Maqdis terrorist group claimed on Wednesday its responsibility for a missile attack on North Sinai’s El-Arish airport on Tuesday, which killed one military officer and injured two other people.

The group released a short statement online saying that it fired a Kornet anti-tank guided missile at a helicopter at the airport.

Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has grabbed credit for most attacks against security and army forces in North Sinai in the past three years.
