U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also condemned the attack, extended his deepest condolences, and wished a swift recovery to those who have been injured.

European Council President Donald Tusk tweeted that he was "appalled by the attack on a mosque in North Sinai. My thoughts are with Egypt and all those affected by this evil and cowardly act."

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker "condemned in the strongest possible terms this barbaric and cowardly act deliberately targeting peaceful and innocent people," adding that "Europe stands beside you in solidarity just as you have stood with us in the past."

European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini denounced the attack, saying "No one should be killed because of their religion, no sacred place should be profaned by violence and terrorism. People of all religions...are united in the fight against terrorist violence."

"Perpetrators of such unbearable acts must be held responsible," she said, adding that the EU "will continue to stand with the Egyptian authorities and people as they confront the threat from terrorism."

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said in a statement that "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this perfidious terrorism, which once again has not even spared places of worship and peaceful people of faith from its brutal atrocities."

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian denounced the attack by saying, "France stands resolutely with Egypt in this latest ordeal. We will continue to stand together in the fight against terrorism and fanaticism."
