Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered his condolences to UK Prime Minister Theresa May in connection with the tragic consequences of the terrorist attack in central London, TASS quoted the Kremlin press service as saying on Thursday.

"It is obvious that all world community members really need to join forces to confront the terrorist threat," the Russian leader said in his telegram of condolence.

"Terrorist forces’ actions are increasingly more insidious and cynical," he noted.

He also conveyed words of sympathy to the families of those killed in the attack and wished a speedy recovery to all those injured in it.

On Wednesday, a terrorist drove a car into pedestrians, including three police officers, on Westminster Bridge in London before he attacked a police officer outside the Houses of Parliament. 

The assailant was shot by the police. The attack has left five people dead, including a police officer, and 40 others injured.
