US embassy in Kyiv shuts down over potential Russian air attack

The U.S. embassy in Kyiv will remain closed on November 20 due to intelligence on a potential major air attack, urging U.S. citizens to shelter during any air alerts. This follows Ukraine’s recent use of U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory, coinciding with the war’s 1,000th day.

The situation highlights escalating risks amid the ongoing war and strained global relations.
