The evacuation, ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, highlights growing concerns over the safety of Russian citizens in the increasingly volatile region, The Moscow Times reported.
According to Russia's Emergency Services Ministry, the families were flown out on an IL-76 aircraft designed to carry heavy cargo.
The aircraft also brought 33 tons of humanitarian aid to Beirut, which included food, medicines, essential supplies, and generators.
The Russian Embassy in Beirut told RBC business news that over 3,000 Russians are currently in Lebanon. While this evacuation flight did not include other Russian citizens, the embassy has advised those wishing to leave the country to use commercial flights from Beirut airport.
Russian media sources have reported that over 1,000 citizens had already expressed their desire to leave Lebanon as of late September.
