The U.S. Mission Ukraine said in a statement, “The U.S. embassy in Kyiv has received information concerning a potentially significant air attack that may occur at any time over the next 24 hours.”

“The embassy, as always, recommends U.S. citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced,” the warning added.
