The Kremlin urges Russian nationals to leave Lebanon on commercial flights as soon as possible for their own safety.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov makes the statement on a daily conference call with reporters after warning a day earlier that Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon had the potential to destabilize the Middle East and widen the conflict there.
