Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Zhang Ming sent a telegram of condolences to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in connection with the terrorist attack in the Moscow region, APA reports citing TASS.

"We strongly condemn this inhuman terrorist act, as well as terrorism in all its forms and manifestations," the telegram said. He expressed solidarity with the Russian people in this sad and difficult time.

A terrorist attack was carried out at the Crocus City Hall music venue in the city of Krasnogorsk near Moscow on Friday evening. Unidentified gunmen armed with assault rifles went on a shooting spree. An explosion rocked the building, starting a fire. The special services are conducting a search operation. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin canceled all mass events in the capital in the next two days, and a number of other Russian regions followed suit.
