Ukraine condemns heinous terrorist attack in Vienna – Kuleba

Ukraine strongly condemns the heinous act of terrorism in Vienna and is ready to provide Austria with any necessary assistance, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said.

“My deepest sympathies to all affected by brutal terrorist attacks in Vienna. Ukraine stands with Austria and condemns in the strongest possible terms this heinous act of terrorism. We are ready to provide any necessary support,” Kuleba wrote on Twitter.

At least four victims were killed and 15 others injured in a series of shootings that started near the Stadttempel synagogue in central Vienna on Monday night.

The shooting began at about 8 p.m. local time at six different locations by multiple gunmen armed with rifles. Police shot and killed one of the suspects, whom authorities later described as an Islamic terrorist.
