Sadyr Japarov sent a telegram of condolences.
«I received the sad news that innocent people were killed and injured as a result of the terrorist attack in Kerman with deep regret. The Kyrgyz Republic strongly condemns terrorism in all its manifestations that threaten global peace and stability.

At least 103 people have been killed, 140 more have been injured by two bomb explosions near the tomb of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in the city of Kerman in southeastern Iran.
Major General Qasem Soleimani, commander of an elite unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was assassinated on the night of January 3, 2020. Under then U.S. President Donald Trump, a special operation to eliminate the general was carried out because he intended to blow up the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. In response, Iran launched missile strikes on two Iraqi military bases where military personnel from the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State terrorist group were stationed.
