Three American citizens have been confirmed dead in southeastern Turkey following the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked the country and Syria this week, the U.S. State Department tells Fox News.
A State Department spokesperson said the agency is “working closely with local authorities and other partner organizations to assist any U.S. citizens in the affected areas.
“We offer our sincerest condolences to the victims and to the families of all of those affected,” the spokesperson added.
