22:15 Ahram Online's Bel Trew sends us this update from Tahrir.

"We initially thought the street battles had halted but suddenly the Central Security Forces, stationed behind the Sheikh Rihan wall, fired a continuous volley of teargas at protesters on the other side. Plumes of toxic gas swept across Tahrir, pushing protesters back towards the museum, clearing three-quarters of the square. Ambulances stationed by the Qasr Al-Dobara church swiftly shifted their medical stations to Simon Bolivor Square as it became impossible to breathe. Protesters fleeing to Omar Makrum mosque responded with a few Molotov cocktails, but weren't able to close enough to the security forces for them to do any damage. CSF soldiers briefly emerged from behind the wall, but it appears that they have returned to their posts. Demonstrators, meanwhile, lit fires around the square to counter the gas."

22:10 The spokesman for the armed forces stated via his official Facebook page that one soldier from the Central Security Forces (CSF) was injured in the clashes and is currently being transferred to Maadi military hospital.

22:05 According to a statement released by the health ministry to state-run news agency MENA, the injury toll has reached 25, with the injuries taking place in Cairo, Alexandria, Beheira, Luxor, Kafr El-Sheikh, Ismailia, Gharbia, Sharqiya, and Suez.

Ahmed Omar, the official spokesman of the ministry, also said that the Egyptian Ambulance Organisation stated that no deaths were confirmed, despite several reports claiming a handful of civilians were killed.

22:00 Two female reporters for Sky News Arabia and Al-Nahar satellite channels have been injured in the ongoing clashes in Alexandria, reports Al-Ahram Arabic .

Tension was heightened at the clashes when electricity was cut off.

21:50 Back to Tahrir, where Ahram Online’s Bel Trew reports that a huge amount of teargas has pushed protesters back across the square, running away from Sheikh Rihan Street and away from the gas. A protester reponds to the volley with a Molotov cocktail.

21:45 BREAKING:Al-Ahram Arabic reports that five protesters were killed in the Suez clashes at the city’s governorate headquarters after sustaining live ammunition and birdshot injuries, according to the head of the doctors syndicate in Suez, Mohamed Salama.

Salama said that there are dozens of injuries among the protesters, included many serious ones to the face and chest. The reports have not been officially confirmed.

21:35 After a bit of a lull in the action, Ahram Online’s Bel Trew reports that clashes have started again at Sheikh Rihan Street next to Tahrir Square. Protesters standing by the barrier wall are are running onto Qasr El-Aini Street after police shot missiles, which look like teargas canisters although this is unconfirmed.

21:10 In the Delta city of Mahalla, the clashes continue, with protesters setting the governor’s office on fire by throwing Molotov cocktails at the building, reports Al-Ahram’s Arabic news website.

21:05 Eight protesters and two policemen were injured during violent clashes in the city of Tanta around the vicinity of the city’s security directorate, reported Al-Ahram Arabic.
