PM Modi condoles loss of lives in Turkey terror attack

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday condoled the loss of lives in twin explosions that struck Turkish capital Ankara.

"Condolences to families of deceased and prayers with injured," a statement from the Prime Minister's office said quoting Modi.

At least 86 people were killed and dozens injured in Ankara on Saturday.

The explosions were a "terrorist attack" carried out by a suicide bomber outside Ankara's main train station. The attack was the deadliest in the city's history, and has ratcheted up tensions ahead of Turkey's November 1 snap elections.
