US Embassy in Kyiv closes after warning of potential Russian air attack

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has closed after receiving a warning of a significant Russian air attack. Employees and U.S. citizens in the area have been advised to shelter in place. This warning is notable for its specificity, as air attacks by Russia have become frequent in Ukraine. The closure follows a Ukrainian strike on a Russian weapons depot, which involved U.S.-made missiles. Russia has intensified its air assaults recently, targeting energy infrastructure as winter approaches. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between Russia and Western nations regarding military support for Ukraine.
