October 16, 2017

Vladimir Putin has extended his condolences to President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed of Somalia over the tragic consequences of the terrorist attack committed in the Somalian capital.

The telegram reads, in part:

“We vehemently condemn this outrageous crime against peaceful civilians. We support the efforts of the Somalian leadership and people to fight the terrorist threat.”

The Russian President also expressed his condolences and support for the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to those injured in the attack.

On October 14, a truck filled with explosives blew up on a busy street of Mogadishu, the Somalian capital, killing at least 300 people.
