Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday extended his sincere condolences to China after a powerful earthquake struck the Xizang Autonomous Region in southwest China.
In an official statement, Putin said, “Russia shares the grief of those who lost their families and close ones in this disaster and hopes for a speedy recovery of the injured.”
The earthquake, which hit earlier this week, caused significant damage and casualties. Rescue teams are working tirelessly to search for survivors and provide aid to those affected.
The Xizang Autonomous Region, known for its rich cultural heritage and mountainous landscapes, is prone to seismic activity due to its location near tectonic plate boundaries.
Authorities are assessing the situation and coordinating relief efforts to support impacted communities.
