Russia condemns Friday's attack on the Bella Vista Hotel in the Egyptian resort city of Hurghada and supports Egypt's efforts to battle extremism, Sputnik quoted the Russian Foreign Ministry as saying Saturday.

"Moscow condemns the criminal actions against a hotel in Hurghada. We firmly support the Egyptian government and the country's law enforcement agencies in firmly resisting extremists of all kinds," the ministry said in a statement.

On Friday, unidentified gunmen attacked the hotel on the Red Sea coast. Three foreign tourists – two Austrians and one Swede – received minor injuries during the attack.
