Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves sent his condolences to the Russian Head of State after a tragic train accident at the Moscow-St Petersburg train route on Friday.

"I send my heartfelt condolences to you and the entire Russian nation commemorating those who perished tragically in the accident involving the Moscow-St. Petersburg train on November 27th," President Toomas Hendrik Ilves wrote in his letter of condolence to Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian Head of State.

"My thoughts are with the families of the victims and I wish all those who were injured a speedy recovery."

At least 25 people died in the terrorist attack against the Nevski Ekspressi train at around 9.30 p.m. Friday evening 400 km North West of Moscow. The Moscow-Tallinn train should have passed through that spot around an hour later, Eesti Päevaleh/LETAt wrote.
