(CNN) -- At least three people were killed at or near protests by Islamist demonstrators in Cairo, Egypt's state-run media outlet Ahram Online reported.
The deaths include two Egyptian army officers who were killed in separate drive-by shootings, the outlet reported.
A third person died from gunshot wounds sustained near the site of clashes between protesters and police in the east Cairo district of Matariya, a spokesman for the Health Ministry told Ahram Online. It wasn't clear whether the slain person had been taking part in protests.
Also Friday, a bomb exploded in Abdel-Moneim Riyad Square in downtown Cairo, near Tahrir Square, witnesses told Ahram Online. No damage or casualties from the explosion were reported.
