At least 30 people have died across Egypt as Islamists opposed to the overthrow of President Mohammed Mursi protested over what they say was a military coup.
Fierce clashes in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria left 14 dead and 200 injured.
In Cairo, five people were killed as pro- and anti-Mursi protesters clashed in central areas and armoured personnel carriers rumbled among them to restore calm.
Five police officers were shot dead in separate incidents in the North Sinai town of El Arish.
A Coptic Christian priest was also shot dead in this afternoon.
He was attacked while walking in the Masaeed area of El Arish.
It was one of several attacks in the town believed to have been carried out by Islamists.
Mr Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood has fiercely criticised Coptic Pope Tawadros, spiritual leader of Egypt's eight million Christians, for giving his blessing to the removal of the president.
Pope Tawadros also attending the announcement by armed forces commander General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi suspending the constitution.
Tens of thousands of people marched across the country yesterday in what Mr Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood movement called a "Friday of Rage" to demonstrate against his overthrow and the army-backed interim government being set up to prepare for new elections.
A new prime minister could be named as early as today.
Egypt's first freely elected president was toppled on Wednesday, the latest twist in a tumultuous two years since the fall of Hosni Mubarak in the Arab Spring uprisings that swept the region in 2011.
The events of the last week have aroused concern among Egypt's allies in the West, including key donors the United States and the European Union, and in neighbouring Israel, with which Egypt has had a US-backed peace treaty since 1979.
The fatalities added to the dozens of deaths in a month of unrest.
Last Sunday, huge rallies in Cairo and other cities called for Mr Mursi's resignation, venting anger over economic stagnation and perceptions of a Brotherhood power grab.
His overthrow was greeted with wild scenes of celebration but infuriated supporters who fear a return to the suppression of Islamists they endured under generations of military rule.
