Our condolences to the families of the victims of the Champlain Towers collapse, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez subscribed on his Twitter account.

There is still no response to the official request for information from our Consulate, but public sources advance sad data on Cubans who have died or disappeared. We remain attentive, the message adds.

Press reports show that rescuers have so far removed 18 dead bodies.

The same sources suggest that among the disappeared, of various nationalities, there are people of Cuban nationality.

At a press conference yesterday, the mayor of Miami-Dade, Daniella Levine, said that there are 145 unaccounted for.
