Russia's Foreign Ministry criticized on Monday an Israeli raid on ships taking aid to the Gaza Strip in which at least 10 people were killed.
A statement on the ministry website said Russia expressed "condemnation and deep concern" over the incident and called for a full investigation.
The ministry also called the use of "weapons against citizens and the seizing of ships in open waters with no legal grounds" a "gross violation of commonly-accepted international legal norms."
It also said the events proved the "necessity of a halt to the Gaza blockade."
