U.S. Embassy in Kyiv Warns of Possible Air Attack
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has issued a security alert regarding a potential air strike that could occur within the next 24 hours. The embassy emphasized the importance of being prepared and advised U.S. citizens to find shelter locations in advance. They also suggested keeping supplies of food, water, and medicine close by, and to listen to the instructions of local officials in case of an emergency.
Early reports indicated that on Sunday morning, Kyiv experienced a significant missile and drone attack, resulting in several injuries and damage to residential buildings. The city’s mayor shared updates on Telegram, confirming these incidents.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned earlier that Russia is poised to use advanced weapons, including hypersonic missiles, against Ukraine. He noted signs of preparations for a widespread attack, urging people to heed air-raid alerts seriously. “Russian aggression knows no limits, so please ensure your safety,” he said.
Additionally, President Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is reinforcing its air defenses and is ready to respond decisively to any Russian actions. He expressed concern about the broader implications of Russia’s actions, stating that if such violence is unchecked, it could encourage other aggressors.
Zelenskyy’s message followed a series of tense communications among international leaders. He highlighted the need for the global community to respond urgently to halt the conflict.
As tensions rise, the situation remains precarious, and both citizens and officials are bracing for what may unfold in the coming days. Residents in Kyiv are advised to prioritize their safety and utilize any available shelters during alerts.
