LONDON, Feb 6 (KUNA) -- The United Kingdom expressed on Friday solidarity with Pakistan over a militant attack, which targeted a mosque in the capital Islamabad.
In a statement on X, British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said, "The UK stands with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and in support of all communities affected by such senseless violence." "Today's appalling attack in Islamabad is deeply shocking. My thoughts are with the victims, families and all affected," she added.
At least 24 people lost their lives while over 100 others sustained injuries after an explosion ripped through a place of worship in Pakistan's federal capital Islamabad earlier Friday. (end) gta.mt
