The international community unanimously condemns the Moscow attack

The international community has unanimously condemned the brutal jihadist attack committed on Friday in Moscow, which caused at least 133 deaths and 120 injuries, and which has triggered a massive wave of solidarity with the victims.

The attack, which occurred on Friday afternoon in the Crocus City Hall concert hall, on the outskirts of Moscow, was claimed by the jihadist organization Islamic State (IS) on social media, while the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia reported the arrest of eleven involved in the attack.

After the attack, the Russian Foreign Ministry called on the international community to condemn him. “The entire international community is obliged to condemn this horrible crime,” said María Zajárova, the foreign spokeswoman, on her Telegram channel. Convictions have happened all over the world.

From the United Nations, the European Union or the African Union, through the governments of Germany, China, India or Japan, the rejection has been resonated forcefully against terrorist attacks.

The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres “condemns the terrorist attack in the strongest possible terms,” his spokesman, Farhan Haq, said in a brief note; the Security Council, in a broader note, also condemned that “atrocious and cowardly terrorist attack” and its members urged the international community to “actively cooperate with the Government of the Russian Federation” and other authorities to achieve justice.

From the EU, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, condemned this Saturday “in the strongest terms” yesterday’s “atrocious” attack “against defenseless people,” and so did the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who “forcefully” condemned the attack, and the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, who lamented the “horrible terrorist attack.”

The president of the African Union Commission (AU), Moussa Faki Mahamat, condemned the attack and offered his solidarity with Russia. “I was shocked to learn about the horrible terrorist attack in Moscow, which claimed many victims,” he said on his social network account X.

From Latin America, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) expressed its categorical condemnation and repudiated “any act of violence that violates the life and security of citizens,” while reiterating its commitment “to peace, tolerance and respect for human life.”

The United States, through the mouth of Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, also condemned the “terrorist attack” in Moscow this Saturday. “We stand in solidarity with the people of Russia who regret the loss of life after this horrible event,” the diplomat wrote on his social network X account.

In Europe, the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, condemned “the horrible attack on innocent people who visited a concert. We think about the debts and the wounded,” she said on her X account, while the Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, expressed herself in similar terms on the same social network.

Italy also rejected “the horror of the killing of innocent civilians in Moscow,” which it considers “unacceptable.”

To these convictions must be added those of other EU countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg or Hungary.

Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a message of condolences to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on Saturday. Xi stated in his letter that he is “shocked” by what happened and expressed his “deep condolences” to the victims and their families, as well as his “sincere solidarity” with the wounded.

Other countries in the region such as India, South Korea or Japan also expressed their condolences.

Iran strongly condemned the attack. “I strongly condemn the recent terrorist attack in Moscow and express my deepest condolences to the families of the victims and my colleague Sergei Lavrov, the Government and the people of Russia in relation to this tragic terrorist attack,” said Iranian Foreign Minister Hosein Amir Abdolahian, in X. “The joint and effective fight against terrorism requires serious and non-discriminatory measures on the part of the international community,” he added.

There were also convictions from countries such as Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco.

The president of Syria, Bachar al-Asad, assured this Saturday that the Moscow attack is “directly related to the defeats of neo-Nazism” in the Donbas, in an apparent veiled reference to Ukraine.

Al Asad conveyed this message to Putin in a telegram in which he stated that “this cowardly attack against innocent people demonstrates the inability to force the Russian people to deviate from their principles,” according to a statement from the Presidency in Damascus.

From Ibero-America, the Government of Brazil “repudiated” and declared itself “dismayed” by the terrorist attack, just like Mexico, from where the (SRE) Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a message in X “rejects any act of violence that threatens the lives of civilians.”

Argentina also expressed its “strong condemnation” and “repudiation” of the attack, as well as Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Cuba, Honduras and Nicaragua.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa

Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.

Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.

This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.

Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain

Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.

The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.

The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.

“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.

The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters

The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.

The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.

Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”

It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
