A powerful blast rippled through a Palm Sunday service at a Coptic Christian church in northern Egypt, killing 25 people and wounding 60 others, state TV reported.

The explosive device at St. George Coptic church in Tanta was planted under a seat in the church, where it detonated in the main prayer hall, it said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

News footage showed people gathered at the church, singing prayer hymns. The video then quickly switches to bars as harrowing screams and cries echo in the background.
