Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov advised to take a closer look at your surroundings and those of your loved ones, especially children.

“My condolences to all the families and friends of the victims,” he wrote. – May Allah protect us all from such situations and grant us a peaceful sky above our heads. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, and let everyone look around themselves and their children, who they communicate with and who their surroundings are. The education of souls is more important than the education of bodies.”

Two-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Abdulrashid Sadulaev noted that in Makhachkala and Derbent militants tried to destabilize the situation and sow confusion.

“I urge everyone to remain calm and not give in to provocations. Such heinous acts have nothing to do with our religion. Terror has no nation and no faith. My condolences to the families and friends of those killed. May the Almighty protect our republic from unrest and troubles!” - said Sadulaev.

UFC fighter Islam Makhachev recalled that Islam prohibits “shedding blood, killing innocent people, causing harm to property, peace and personal integrity.” He also urged not to link “inhumane acts” with religion.
