US Embassy in Kyiv closes over threat of Russian air attacks

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv will remain closed due to warnings of a possible Russian air attack. This decision follows Russia's claim that U.S.-made missiles were used in a Ukrainian strike on a weapons warehouse in Bryansk. Tensions have escalated as North Korean troops reportedly assist Russia, prompting President Biden to allow Ukraine to target Russian sites. Russia has also lowered its nuclear response threshold, which could include responses to Ukrainian attacks supported by the U.S. Ukraine has conducted strikes on military targets in Russia, including a factory in Belgorod and an arsenal in Novgorod. These developments come amid ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv.
