MOURNING Russia observes a national day of mourning on Sunday in the wake of the terror attack in a Moscow concert hall that left at least 143 people dead and many wounded and which was claimed by a Jihadi group known as the Islamic State. The Russian public television has broadcast film footage from the interrogation of four of the masterminds, foreign nationals apprehended in a region situated at the border with Ukraine and Belarus. President Putin says the terrorists’ intention was to flee to the neighboring Ukraine where their escape was prepared. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Putin of trying to blame the attack on Kyiv. The Romanian Foreign Ministry has conveyed condolences to the victims’ families underlying that Romania firmly condemns any form of terrorism and violence against civilians.

 

DEATH The President of the Writers Union in Romania, professor, literary critic and historian, Nicolae Manolescu, died at the age of 84 due to a heart attack. Many of his colleagues and disciples believe him to be Romania’s most important historian and literary critic since WWII. Nicolae Manolescu also had political activity after the anti-communist revolution of December 1989, being Romania’s ambassador at UNESCO and served as senator during the 1992-1996 legislature. He ran for Romania’s presidential seat in 2000. During his life and career, Nicolae Manolescu became recipient of some of the highest Romanian awards.

Cirstea clinched a 6-2, 6-1 win in a match that lasted 52 minutes and which was initially postponed because of the heavy rainfall. The Romanian will next take on Daria Kasatkina of Russia.
