200 people have been detained at a protest camp in Egypt, according to Egyptian state TV.
The detentions happened at al-Adawiya Square, one of two main areas in capital Cairo, where supporters of the deposed President Mohamed Morsi were camping out, state TV said.
The channel claims the detained include members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a political organization from which Morsi hails.
Meanwhile, many embassies in Cairo, including that of the US, have announced they would suspend consular services on Thursday.
The AA's correspondent says security forces forcibly shut down stores on Cairo's main avenues due to a curfew that came into effect about an hour ago.
