Bulgaria is strongly condemning the attacks in Copenhagen which took [two] lives and wounded innocent citizens, the Foreign Ministry in Sofia has said in a statement.

Minister Daniel Mitov has described the events of Saturday as "yet another terror act targeting one of our supreme values - freedom of speech."

"We will not allow fear to take over Europe," Mitov goes on, also extending condolence to the people of Denmark.

Europeans will remain "unified against extremism and violence and will oppose them with all democratic means" in this moment of hardship, the ministry adds.

Two separate attacks have claimed the lives of two people and have left five wounded in the past hours in Denmark's capital Copenhagen, with police believing they were carried out by a single perpetrator.
