U.S. Embassy warns of increased threats from Russian missiles, drones

As reported by Ukrinform, the security alert was published on the Embassy’s website.

"Due to increased threats from Russian missiles and drones targeting Ukraine’s critical civilian infrastructure, the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv urges U.S. citizens to exercise heightened caution," the statement reads.

The embassy advised all U.S. citizens to monitor alerts from Ukrainian authorities regarding air attacks and use a reliable air raid alert app on their mobile phones.

"U.S. citizens should abide by all government curfews and quickly flow instructions and seek shelter during air alerts," the embassy added.

As previously reported by Ukrinform, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine stated on November 20 that it had received “specific information” about a potential significant airstrike and issued warnings to American citizens.

Flowing this, the embassies of Spain, Italy, and Greece in Ukraine announced closures to visitors after the U.S. released information about a possible major air attack.

Later, Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation claimed that the warnings were disseminated by Russian actors to several diplomatic missions in Kyiv to incite panic.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called on international partners to respond to the threat of Russian strikes without fueling unnecessary alarm.
