At least seven South Africans were among at least 17 tourists wounded late Sunday when their bus was targeted by an explosion as it travelled near the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza just outside of the Egyptian capital Cairo.

According to initial reports from Egyptian state media, it is believed that 10 of those wounded are Egyptians and seven South Africans. 

Security forces and ambulances have rushed to the scene.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is popular with tour buses and tourists, but the numbers of tourists visiting the North African country have dropped due to security forces there fighting an insurgency which has targeted military and civilian targets.
