Turkey has extended condolences over June 24's deadly building collapse in the U.S. state of Florida.

"We have received with sorrow that there were dead and injured due to the collapse of a 12-story building on June 24, 2021, in Florida, U.S., and that many people were left under the rubble," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement on June 26.
