Singapore on Tuesday condemned the killing of Russian Ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement that there can be no justification for such a despicable act, particularly against a diplomat.

The ministry offered condolences to the family of Karlov and the Russian people.

Andrei Karlov was attacked at the opening of an art exhibition in Ankara on Monday.
