US embassy in Ukraine warns of 'potentially significant air attack' that could happen in next 24 hours
The embassy told Americans in Ukraine to seek shelter and prepare supplies after receiving information about a potentially significant strike.
- On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the United States Embassy in Kyiv issued warnings of a possible massive air attack across Ukraine within the next 24 hours.
- These alerts followed Russian claims that a Ukrainian drone strike in the Russian-occupied town of Starobilsk killed 18 people, prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin to promise a military response.
- Intelligence services reported signs of a combined strike involving the Oreshnik, a Russian nuclear-capable missile recently deployed to Belarus, which borders three NATO member states.
- Appealing to the international community, Zelensky urged that "pressure must be put on Moscow so that it does not expand the war," while the embassy advised citizens to identify shelters and stock supplies.
- Russia previously deployed the Oreshnik in November 2024 and January 2026 with conventional warheads; last week the military conducted three days of nuclear weapons drills, heightening escalation concerns.
