I am deeply shocked by the brutal attack during the Hanukkah celebrations in Australia. Bulgaria stands in solidarity with the Australian people and the Jewish community, the outgoing Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov said on the "Ex" platform.
"Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and the first responders", adds Rosen Zhelyazkov.
The number of victims of the attack on one of the most famous Australian beaches has reached 15 people, including a child. One of the attackers was also killed. Hundreds of people had gathered on Sydney's Bondi Beach for an event to mark the first day of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah when an armed assailant opened fire on them.
