According to updated data, the number of victims of terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka has increased. Now reported 290 dead and more than 500 injured. Among the dead are local residents, as well as citizens of Denmark, Japan, Pakistan, Morocco, India, Bangladesh, China, the Netherlands, the USA, Turkey and the UK.
The staff of the Committee for external relations of St. Petersburg deeply sympathizes with the tragedy.
A series of explosions in churches and hotels on the day when the Catholic world celebrates the bright holiday of Easter is a crime that strikes with its cruelty and blasphemy.
In these difficult days we wish the family and friends of the deceased mental strength and fortitude, and all the victims – a speedy recovery!
