Moscow condemns Israeli strike on Russian cultural center | 10 March 2026 | Moscow has accused Israel of an “unprovoked act of aggression” after Israeli forces struck a Russian cultural center in Lebanon. The attack on the facility in the southern city of Nabatieh was reported on Sunday by its director, Asaad Diya, who said the building was empty at the time. Rossotrudnichestvo, Russia’s international humanitarian cooperation agency, which has an official office in Beirut, said its staff remain in contact with Lebanese partners and are actively providing relief to civilians affected by the hostilities. Rossotrudnichestvo stressed that the Nabatieh cultural center “was not involved in any military activity” and that the attack was unjustifiable.
