SINGAPORE, July 15 (Xinhua) -- Singapore strongly condemns the heinous attack in Nice, France on Thursday that killed and injured many innocent people, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in a statement on Friday.
MFA said "we are shocked and saddened yet again by another terror attack." The ministry also expressed the deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wish those who are injured a speedy recovery.
"Our thoughts are with the people of France at this time," the ministry added.
MFA has verified the safety of all registered Singaporeans in Nice. The Singapore Embassy in Paris is in contact with the local authorities to ascertain whether there are any Singaporeans affected by the attack.
The death toll continues to rise from the attack in which a truck rammed into a crowd marking the French national day in Nice. At least 80 people have been killed and 18 remain in "critical condition."
