An Egyptian female journalist was killed on Friday during clashes between security forces and supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi at a neighborhood in Cairo, Egyptian local media reported.

"Our colleague Maiada Ashraf, journalist, was shot dead while covering the ongoing clashes at Ezbat al-Nakhl neighborhood in Ain Shams town in Cairo," Dostor online newspaper reported, for which the journalist worked.

Several marches were staged Friday by Morsi's supporters across Egypt in reaction to the recently-announced presidential bid of ex- military chief Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, who carried out Morsi's ouster.

Protests were held at several provinces, including the capital Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, Fayoum, Beheira, Qalioubiya and Qena.

Clashes between security men and protesters during some marches left several people injured, besides the killed journalist.

Pro-Morsi protesters chanted slogans against the military and the government, as they consider Morsi's removal by the army last July "a military coup."

Morsi's loyalists were infuriated when Sisi officially announced that he would run for president, as the ex-defense minister was the one who carried out Morsi's ouster in response to mass protests.

Since Morsi's removal, his loyalists have been staging constant anti-government protests in defiance of a fierce security crackdown, mass arrests and trials as well as a new anti-protest law.
