Following the terrorist attack in Moscow's Crocus City Hall concert venue, resulting in the death of 137 civilians, more countries issued statements condemning the atrocious act.

DPRK leader Kim Jong Un expressed condolences to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as reported by North Korean state-run news agency KCNA.

The report highlighted Kim Jong Un's affirmation of DPRK's stance on combating terrorism in all its forms, alongside his confidence in Russia's ability to swiftly restore stability and security in the aftermath of the attack.
 
On his account, Pope Francis has conveyed his solidarity with the families of the victims of the terrorist attack at a concert venue close to Moscow, offering assurances that he is praying for the deceased.

"I assure you that I pray for the victims of the despicable terrorist attack in Moscow. May God welcome them into His peace and comfort their families," the Pope said.

In the same context, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon has denounced the terrorist assault on the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, affirming that terrorists "have no nationality," amid reports of the assailants being Tajik nationals, according to the press service of the Tajik leader.

“In the course of the phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon strongly condemned the brutal bloody terrorist act in the Crocus City Hall complex, stressing that terrorists have no nationality, nor homeland, nor religion. In the sad hour of national mourning in the Russian Federation Emomali Rahmon emphasized solidarity of Tajik nationals with the brotherly Russian people,” the press service said.

The press service further noted that the Tajik leader reiterated his commitment to close collaboration with Russia in combating terrorism, extremism, and religious radicalism.
