South Korea's foreign ministry on Tuesday strongly condemned the latest bombings in Mogadishu, Somalia, that killed hundreds of innocent people, calling it a "terror" act that can never be tolerated.

In a statement issued in the name of its spokesman, the ministry expressed deep condolences to the victims and their heartbroken families and promised to keep working together with the international community to eradicate such terror activities.
