In a statement issued on Sunday, February 8, 2026, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the incident "deeply shocking" and extended condolences to victims' families.
"China mourns the lives lost, and our hearts go out to the injured and those who lost loved ones," the spokesperson said, reaffirming Beijing's opposition to all forms of terrorism.
