Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday condemned the bomb attacks in Uganda that killed 64 and expressed condolences to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
At least 64 people were killed and 71 others injured in bomb attacks against football fans in the Ugandan capital Kampala late Sunday.
"The Russian Federation resolutely condemns terrorism in all its forms and calls for consolidated efforts by the international community in the fight against these inhumane crimes," Medvedev said in a telegram, according to the Kremlin press service.
Two bomb blasts, one in an Ethiopian restaurant and another at the Kyadondo Rugby Club hosting a crowd of football fans watching the World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands, occurred in the country's capital.
The rugby club bomb went off around 11 p.m. (20:00 GMT), killing 49 people, and 15 people, at least half of whom were foreigners, were killed in the Ethiopian restaurant blast.
Police said the radical Islamic al-Shabaab militia in Somalia could be behind the bombings.
Somali extremists threatened attacks in Kampala because Ugandan troops are among the 5,000 African Union peacekeepers in Mogadishu.
The United States condemned the attacks and said Americans might have been among those killed or injured.
"I join President Obama in strongly condemning today's attacks in Kampala, Uganda, targeting innocent spectators watching the World Cup final," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said.
