The Egyptian police killed eight militants on Monday in a shootout in south Egypt, official news agency MENA reported.
The national security sector was tipped off that these militants had been sheltering in a hideout in the desert road leading to Sohag province, the report added.
"A large amount of weapons and ammunition were seized," MENA quoted an official security source as saying.
On Saturday, two militants linked to terrorist groups were killed by the police in one of the Delta provinces.
Egypt has been battling waves of terrorist attacks centered in North Sinai since the army-led ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi in 2013 in response to nation-wide protests against his rule.
However, some of the attacks have extended to Cairo and other cities.
Most of the terrorist attacks have been claimed by a Sinai-based group loyal to the Islamic State group.
