Russia-Ukraine: US closes Kyiv embassy over “significant air attack” threats

The U.S. shut its embassy in Kyiv on Wednesday morning due to what it called the threat of a “potential significant air attack,” a day after Ukraine used American missiles to hit a target inside Russia.

Later, after an air raid siren was heard in the capital, Ukraine's military spy agency said Russia was trying to sow panic by circulating fake online messages about a massive looming missile and drone attack.

A U.S. government source said the embassy closure was "related to ongoing threats of air attacks." The Italian and Greek embassies said they too had closed their doors, while the French embassy remained open but urged its citizens to be cautious.

On Tuesday, Ukraine used U.S. ATACMS missiles to attack an arms depot inside Russia, making use of newly-granted permission from the outgoing Biden administration on the 1,000th day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
