Russia's Foreign Ministry has condemned the killing of Iran's top general in a US airstrike at Baghdad's airport and said it will increase tensions throughout the Middle East.
An unnamed diplomat in the ministry told Russia's state-run news agency TASS they consider the killing of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani "an adventurist step."
The head of the foreign affairs committee in Russia's upper parliament house called the US airstrike "a mistake" that could "boomerang on its organizers."
