Russia condemns communication device explosion in Lebanon

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated on Friday that her country is concerned about the developments in Lebanon, where tensions have been rising for several days.

Zakharova conveyed in video statements posted by the Russian Foreign Ministry on X: “On September 19, Israeli aircraft carried out a series of massive strikes on a number of areas in southern Lebanon, and before that, for two consecutive days, September 17 and 18, Lebanon was subjected to unprecedented terrorist attacks, which were electronic attacks,” according to the Russian Sputnik News agency.

She noted: “Dozens of people, including children, were victims of these attacks, and thousands of people were injured. This event is unprecedented in the history of the global community.”

“There has never been anything like this before. There have been terrorist attacks that have unfortunately claimed the lives of many people, and many more people have suffered, but this is a completely new type of terrorist act that combines this scale with the application of new technologies,” she added.

Zakharova relayed: “This is a completely new type of terrorist act, which combines both such a scale and such an application of new technologies, seemingly of a civilian nature, but used for terrorist purposes.”
