(Bloomberg) -- At least 16 people were injured when an explosive device targeted a tourist bus near the Giza pyramids in Egypt, Hanaa Serour, an official at the Health Ministry, said by phone.

There was no immediate report on the nationality of the tourists. The blast occurred in front of a museum that’s under construction.

Last December, three Vietnamese tourists and a local guide were killed by a roadside blast around the same area of greater Cairo.
