GENEVA (AA) - Switzerland on Friday condemned an attack targeting a Swiss non-governmental organization in Ukraine, calling any attack against civilians "unacceptable."

Bern "strongly condemns the attack that killed and injured employees of the Swiss NGO HEKS/EPER in Ukraine," the Foreign Ministry said on X.

Extending its deepest condolences and support to the families of the victims, the ministry said: "Any attack on civilians is unacceptable and in total contradiction to (International Humanitarian Laws) IHL."
