Comment by the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding explosions in the Cairo underground
According to the incoming reports, on the 25 June there were several explosions in the underground. According to preliminary data, two people were injured as a result of this explosion. The work of two out of three metro lines in the Egyptian capital was affected.
In this regard Moscow confirms its principled position of decisive condemnation of any terrorist attacks, irrespective of the motives by which their inspirers are guided. We stated our solidarity with the efforts of the leaders of the Arab Republic of Egypt to counteract the threat of terrorism and radicalism, and also about our support of actions, aimed at the stabilisation of the situation in the country.
We emphasise again the current recommendations of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs addressed to Russians, who visit Egypt, to stay within resort areas and to refrain from visiting cities and regions, where there are high risks of terrorism and crime.
