The UK's Foreign Secretary David Cameron in a statement on Saturday condemned the terrorist attack targeting civilians at a concert hall in the Russian capital Moscow.

Cameron said "the UK condemns in the strongest terms the deadly terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall near Moscow."

“We offer our heartfelt condolences and express our deepest sympathy to the families of the many victims,” he continued.

“Nothing can ever justify such horrific violence,” Cameron noted.

Gunmen opened fire at concertgoers late Friday, killing at least 115 people and injuring 145 others. The attack took place as rock band Picnic was about to perform at the Crocus City Hall just west of Moscow.​​​​​​​
