Russia denounces terrorist attacks in Syria
Russia has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Syria, describing them as an attempt to wreck efforts for resolving the years-long crisis through peaceful approaches.
At least 87 people were killed on Sunday after multiple explosions rocked al-Tin Street in the Sayeda Zeinab neighborhood of the Syrian capital, Damascus, where the holy shrine of the granddaughter of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is located. Earlier in the day, twin bomb attacks also killed at least 59 people in the city of Homs. The Daesh Takfiri terrorists claimed responsibility for the attacks in both cities.
"We are convinced that such abhorrent criminal acts need adequate ... reaction from the international community," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in an online statement.
In reaction to the blasts, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari strongly denounced the deadly attacks in the suburban area of Damascus.
UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura has also condemned the attacks.
Syria has been gripped by a foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. According to a new report by the Syrian Center for Policy Research, the conflict has claimed the lives of over 470,000 people, injured 1.9 million others, and displaced nearly half of the country’s pre-war population of about 23 million.
