In a message, Sirisena expressed his condolences to the affected families and stated, “Sri Lanka condemns the incident at Saint Petersburg which caused deaths and injuries to many in Russia.”
At least 11 people were killed in a blast on the Saint Petersburg metro Monday which Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev described as a “terrorist act.”
