OREANDA-NEWS. Russia condemns mutual attacks of the United States and the Hezbollah terrorist group. This is stated in a statement of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

It is noted that the United States conducted defensive strikes at five objects of militants in Western Iraq and Eastern Syria. According to Americans, 25 people died and 50 were injured. The deputy head of the Pentagon, Jonathan Hoffman, noted earlier that the strikes of the US Army were conducted in response to repeated Hezbollah attacks on bases located in Iraq.

“…We consider such actions unacceptable and counterproductive. We urge all parties to refrain from further steps fraught with a sharp destabilization of the military-political situation in Iraq, Syria and neighboring countries,” Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized.
