MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Late on Thursday evening, a heavy truck hit a crowd celebrating the Bastille Day in Nice, killing 84 and injuring dozens more.
"We want to make known, on the part of Pope Francis and ourselves, our sharing and solidarity in the suffering of the victims and all the French people, in what was supposed to be a great day of celebration. We condemn in an absolute manner every manifestation of homicidal folly, hatred, terrorism, and attacks against peace," Lombardi said, as quoted by Vatican Radio.
He added that Vatican was following the tragedy during the night with the greatest concern.
