2014年CRI 乌鲁木齐暴恐案致31死94伤 各界强烈谴责

 

Chinese authorities have strongly condemned¹ the terror attack that happened in Xinjiang on Thursday

So far 31 people have been confirmed dead and 94 injured.

The international community has also condemned the violence.

The attack took place at a market in the city of Urumqi.

Terrorists drove two vehicles into a crowd of people in a public square, tossing explosives at shoppers as they plowed² through the mass of people before blowing up their vehicles.

Chinese authorities have vowed³ to work harder in fighting terrorism and safeguarding social stability.

At least 13 troops have been killed after pro-Russian activists⁴ attacked a military checkpoint in eastern Ukraine, days before a presidential election.

The attack near the town of Volnovakha is the deadliest raid in weeks of fighting in eastern Ukraine.

The country's acting⁵ president says the attackers were trying to seize the town, but troops successfully defended it.
