The Afghan president said the joint American and Russian raid on four laboratories in Nangahar province on Thursday was unsanctioned and violated Afghan sovereignty.
Moscow officials said they were baffled by the angry response, maintaining the operation had taken place with Kabul’s knowledge.
Following the raid, Mr Karzai’s palace released an angry statement claiming: “Such unilateral operations are a clear violation of Afghan sovereignty as well as international law, and any repetition will be met by the required reaction from our side.”
