US embassy shut down over anticipated air attack in Kyiv

The US embassy in Kyiv has been shut down over an anticipated air attack. The US Department of State Consular Affairs, in a statement, said that the Emabassy in the Ukrainian capital today received information of a significant air attack. The statement further added that as a precaution, the embassy will remain shut, and US citizens are advised to be ready to



seek shelter immediately if an air alert is issued.

The warning comes a day after Ukraine launched US-supplied ATACMS missiles against Russian territory, following the permission granted by the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden on the 1,000th day of the war.
