The Russian foreign ministry said in a statement that such attacks indicate the desperation of terrorists in Syria, who are now facing imminent defeat.
The statement added: "We strongly condemn these acts of atrocity. We offer condolences to the families of the dead and wish a speedy recovery to those wounded."
The Russia foreign ministry noted that the successes of the Syrian Arab Army, supported by the Russian air force, in defeating the terrorist organizations, especially Daesh (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra, has made the terrorists feel insecure, and facing imminent defeat, they are now resorting to mass violence against civilians, a sign of their desperation.
