Some 189 people were killed in clashes as a result of unrests in Egypt, which were caused by the overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi, Anadolu agency repoted on Wednesday.

In addition, thousands people were reported to be wounded. The largest number of victims - 79 people - was recorded in Cairo and Giza cities.

Clashes between supporters and opponents of President Mohamed Morsi have been continuing in Egypt after the Egyptian military suspended the constitution and ousted Morsi on July 3.

Egyptian Islamists do not accept these decisions and demand the return of power to the legally elected president.

On July 10 Egypt's Prosecutor General's Office issued an order to arrest the leaders of Muslim Brotherhood movement. Morsi's exact location is not reported. It is only known that he is being held by the military in one of the structures of Egypt's Interior Ministry.
