The Turkish Foreign Ministry on Sunday extended condolences to Saudi Arabia for the 14 victims of a helicopter crash in the eastern oil hub of Ras Tanura, saying Ankara was "deeply saddened by the loss of lives" in the tragic accident.

The ministry said that Türkiye shares in the grief of the Saudi people following the Sunday incident. "We wish Allah’s mercy upon those who lost their lives in this tragic accident, and extend our condolences to their families and to the people of Saudi Arabia," it said.

The aircraft was operated by Saudi oil giant Aramco and went down in Ras Tanura on Sunday, according to the Saudi Press Agency. The crash site lies in one of the kingdom's primary oil refining and export centers located on the eastern coast along the Gulf.

All 14 people on board were Saudi nationals, the agency reported, citing an official source from the Saudi Energy Ministry. Ras Tanura serves as a vital hub for Saudi oil exports.
