The United States embassy in Kyiv has resumed services after a temporary closure due to a possible threat of a significant attack on the Ukrainian capital. The closure was announced by the US ambassador to Ukraine, who urged US citizens to remain vigilant and monitor official Ukrainian sources for updates.
According to reports, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence revealed that Russia had orchestrated an information and psychological attack by spreading a fake warning of a massive assault on Kyiv, falsely attributed to Ukraine's Defense Intelligence. This misinformation led to heightened tensions and concerns in the region.
State Department Spokesperson confirmed that the embassy was expected to reopen on Thursday and emphasized that there were no reports of any significant strikes in Kyiv. The specifics of the threat that prompted the embassy's closure were not disclosed for security reasons.
The situation underscores the ongoing tensions in the region and the need for heightened security measures. US citizens are advised to stay informed, follow official guidance, and be prepared to take necessary precautions in the event of an air alert.
