In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation affirmed the UAE's utter and vehement denunciation of all forms of violence and terrorism, which target all without distinction between religions or ethnicities, regardless of their sources and motives.

The ministry reiterated its call on the international community to close ranks and uproot the evil of terrorism, which threatens international peace and stability.
The ministry extended the condolences of the UAE to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to the injured.
