MOSCOW, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday offered condolences to his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, over the deadly blast that hit an outdoor wedding celebration in southeastern Turkey and killed at least 50 people.
Condemning the attack for its cruelty and disrespect for human morality, the Russian leader vowed to boost anti-terrorism cooperation with Turkey.
The explosion, which also left 94 people injured, happened near a wedding hall in the southeastern Turkish province of Gaziantep on Saturday night.
Erdogan said earlier that the attack was likely carried out by Islamic State militants.
