HANOI, May 22 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam strongly condemns the terrorist attacks that killed and injured dozens of civilians in the city of Urumqi in China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region on Thursday, Vietnam's Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said.

Answering questions on the Thursday attacks in Urumqi, the spokesman also extended his deep condolences to Chinese people and relatives of the victims.

He held out hope that the culprits will be brought to justice.

Two vehicles, without license plates, broke through roadside fences and plowed into people at an open-air market in Urumqi at 7: 50 a.m. and explosive devices were set off, said a statement by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's publicity department.

The attack that left at least 31 dead and 94 injured was an act of terror, according to authorities.

In response to the attack, Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged to severely punish the terrorists and spare no effort in maintaining stability.
