The US Embassy in Kiev worries about "missile attacks"

The US Embassy in Kiev has advised Americans not to ignore any potential air-raid sirens and to shelter appropriately, warning that the security situation could deteriorate rapidly following an attempted drone attack on the Kremlin. The US State Department issued a security alert on the “heightened threat of missile attacks” across Ukraine on Wednesday night, citing a “recent uptick in strikes across Ukraine and inflammatory rhetoric from Moscow.” Two small unmanned aircraft were taken down over the Kremlin using electronic warfare measures, and the Kremlin described the attack as a “preplanned terrorist act” by Ukrainian forces and an attempt on Putin’s life. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that the US is not encouraging or enabling Ukraine to strike beyond its borders.
