MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A truck rammed into a crowd watching Bastille Day fireworks in the southern French city of Nice late on Thursday, killing at least 84 people, with 18 more fighting for their lives.
"Our thoughts and compassion go out to the victims, their relatives and the entire French nation. We are mourning together with France and stand firmly by their side in this difficult time," Steinmeier said in a statement.
A spokeswoman with the German Foreign Office told Sputnik earlier they were trying to determine if there were any Germans among those affected by the attack, which the French president said was undeniably of terrorist nature.
