Gunfire has been heard at a mosque in Egypt's capital, Cairo, following a stand-off with barricaded Muslim Brotherhood supporters.
Dozens of supporters had refused to leave, fearing for their safety.
Television pictures showed security forces firing up towards the main minaret.
Meanwhile, the interim PM has proposed legally dissolving the Brotherhood, which has been demanding ousted leader Mohammed Morsi be reinstated.
The Brotherhood has called for daily demonstrations since a crackdown on its protest camps in Cairo on Wednesday left hundreds of people dead.
The mosque stand-off followed another day of bloody clashes on Friday, in which 173 people died and 1,000 Brotherhood supporters were arrested.
Mr Morsi - Egypt's first democratically elected president - was removed by the army last month and replaced with an interim government.
Al-Jazeera television called one woman inside the mosque on her mobile phone as the shooting began.
"Nobody here is safe, they are shooting inside the mosque," she said, with loud firing heard in the background.
Television pictures are now showing gunfire continuing outside the mosque, with armoured personnel carriers targeting the minaret.
Also on Saturday, the Muslim Brotherhood said on its Facebook page that Ammar Badie, the son of the movement's spiritual leader, General Guide Mohamed Badie, was one of those killed during protests on Friday.
The Brotherhood said that Ammar Badie, 38, had died of a bullet wound in Ramses Square on Friday.
His father was arrested after the removal of Mr Morsi and charged with inciting violence. It has not been revealed where he is being detained.
The secretary-general of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, Mohammed al-Beltagi, says his 17-year-old daughter, Asmaa, died in earlier protests.
