Russia ‘strongly condemns’ Hezbollah pager explosions

Russia says it strongly condemns a deadly attack that saw thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah simultaneously explode across Lebanon, calling for “all parties involved to exercise restraint.”

“We strongly condemn the unprecedented attack on friendly Lebanon and its citizens, which constitutes a flagrant violation of its sovereignty and a serious challenge to international law through the use of unconventional weapons,” Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says.

The attack has been widely blamed on Israel.
