RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry expressed the Kingdom’s deep sorrow and regret after a flight to a Nepal tourist town crashed into a gorge on Sunday, killing at least 68 people.
The ministry extended the Kingdom’s deepest and sincere condolences to the families of victims and to the government and people of Nepal, wishing a speedy recovery to all injured.
At least 68 people were killed when the Yeti Airlines domestic flight crashed in Pokhara, Nepal, the worst air crash in three decades in the Himalayan nation.
