MOSCOW, Aug. 4 -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed his condolences to Chinese President Xi Jinping in the wake of a deadly earthquake in southwestern China, the Kremlin said Monday.
Putin "expressed his words of sympathy and support to friends and relatives of those killed and wished soonest recovery to all injured," the Kremlin press service said in a statement.
He also expressed readiness to provide disaster relief assistance "if the need arises," added the Kremlin statement.
The latest official statistics showed that the death toll from the 6.5-magnitude earthquake in Yunnan Province had risen to 398 with three others missing.
The strong quake had also left 1,801 injured and prompted an emergency evacuation of about 230,000, provincial authorities said. More than 1 million people were affected.
