Uzbek President expresses condolences to Sri Lanka

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) -- President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has expressed condolences to the President of Sri Lanka Maithripala Sirisena on the numerous human victims of the series of explosions that took place in that country.

At least 207 people were killed and hundreds more injured on Sunday in Sri Lanka when attackers unleashed an apparently coordinated series of bombings that simultaneously targeted Christian churches and luxury hotels.

The explosions took place miles apart, and the targets included three Christian churches holding Easter services and three hotels, some commonly used by Western tourists.
