“China has noted the reports,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told a media briefing here while responding to a query on the attack.
“We strongly condemn the attack. China firmly opposes all forms of terrorism. We mourn for the lives lost and express sincere sympathies to the bereaved families and the injured,” he said.
