Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its condolences following the deadly multi-vehicle traffic accident in the Emirate of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which claimed multiple lives.

In a written statement issued on Friday, the ministry said it had learned with deep sorrow of the loss of life caused by the accident.

"We extend our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and to the brotherly people of the United Arab Emirates, and wish a speedy recovery to those injured," the statement said.

The ministry also prayed for mercy upon those who lost their lives and expressed Türkiye's solidarity with the UAE during this difficult time.

The accident occurred late Thursday on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road near the entrance to Fujairah after a truck reportedly lost control, triggering a chain-reaction crash involving multiple vehicles and a subsequent fire. UAE authorities said 14 people were killed and 30 others injured in one of the country's deadliest recent road accidents.

Following the tragedy, several countries and regional organizations also conveyed messages of condolence and solidarity with the UAE.(ILKHA)
