Archbishop Pavel Pezzi of Moscow has offered his “deepest condolences” to the victims and relatives of a “brutal terrorist attack” in Russia’s capital on the evening of 22 March.
At least 133 people were killed at a concert hall in Krasnogorsk, a suburb of Moscow. The Islamic State group’s Afghanistan branch claimed responsibility for the attack on social media.
“Following the brutal terrorist attack in Moscow, which left many people dead and injured, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the relatives of the victims and support to everyone who suffered in this terrible tragedy,” the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Moscow, who originally comes from Italy, said in a statement released on 23 March.
