Singapore Thursday strongly condemned the terrorist attacks in Mumbai which have killed at least 76 people.
A Singaporean is among the hostages being held by militant gunmen who stormed two luxury hotels and attacked other places in a series of attacks across the Indian commercial capital on Wednesday night.
Singapore's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that they are closely monitoring the situation in Mumbai and are in close touch with the family of the Singaporean and are working with the Indian authorities to secure his release.
"Singapore strongly condemns the attacks," the Foreign Ministry said.
"The Mumbai attacks underscore the common terrorist threat that we continue to face today. Singapore stands firmly behind the Indian Government in its fight against terrorism," it said.
The foreign ministry advised Singaporeans against traveling to Mumbai or postpone their trip after the series of deadly terrorist attacks.
