Anti-government protests are intensifying across Egypt, as police clash with demonstrators in several cities demanding the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak.
A protester in Suez was killed in clashes with police, witnesses said.
In Cairo, police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds, who responded by throwing stones.
Live TV pictures from Cairo showed what appeared to be army vehicles on the streets.
In one location, an army vehicle appeared to go into reverse when it was surrounded by protesters who raised their fists in celebration.
Cairo, Alexandria and Suez have been placed under curfew effective from 1800 to 0700 local time (1600 to 0500 GMT). State television said President Hosni Mubarak had decreed the curfew to stop riots, lawlessness and attacks on property.
