The US Embassy in Harare condemns the attack at the ZANU-PF rally in Bulawayo this afternoon.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.

We have seen the reports and videos of an explosion in Bulawayo at a ZANU rally. There is no place for any form of political violence in Zimbabwe. We want to express our sympathy and concern for all those who have been injured.
