Comment by the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the terrorist attack in Tunisia
On the morning of the 30 October, a suicide bomber blew himself up whilst attempting to penetrate Riadh Palms, in the Tunisian tourist resort. According to preliminary data, nobody was wounded as a result of this explosion. Tunisian intelligence agencies prevented another attempted terrorist attack in Monastir, another Tunisian tourist resort.
We decisively denounce such actions. We think that there is no and can be no excuse for such actions. We appeal to the Tunisian authorities to take all required measures to ensure the security of foreign tourists.
We confirm the recommendation to Russian nationals in Tunisia or who are planning to visit the country, to remain prudent and refrain from visiting crowded areas.
