Russia Hands Lebanon Satellite Images of Beirut Port Blast

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday announced that Russia has handed Lebanon the satellite images of the Beirut port before and after the blast, hoping these images will help in the investigations.

During a mutual press conference with Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Habib, the latter thanked Russia for the help it is offering to Lebanon, saying that the pictures will be handed to the Lebanese Judiciary for assessment.

“We have addressed ways to activate bilateral agreements which would help in strengthening the cooperation between the two countries,” Habib said.

“We have agreed with the Russian side to respect the sovereignty and the unity of Syria while stressing that Syria’s future is only determined by the Syrian people,” he added.
