The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs extended the Kingdom's condolences and deep sympathy to Iraq and its government, especially the families of the victims, over the fire tragedy at a wedding hall in the northern Nineveh province.

The ministry conveyed the Kingdom's wish for a speedy recovery for the injured.

A raging fire seemingly caused by fireworks set off to celebrate a wedding consumed a hall packed with guests in northern Iraq, killing around 100 people and injuring 150 others as authorities warned Wednesday the death toll could still rise.
