The US embassy cited "specific information about a potential significant air attack" on the capital as the reason for its temporary closure.
In a statement, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi acknowledged that such threats are an "unfortunate daily reality" for Ukraine. He emphasized that the current threat is "as relevant as it has been on the previous thousand days."
Tykhyi added, "We believe it is appropriate for our partners to respond on the 1,001st day just as they have on the previous thousand, without amplifying information pressure."
He urged Ukrainian citizens to "remain vigilant," heed air raid sirens, and stay prepared "as always with the ongoing threat of Russian missile attacks."
Notably, Spain's embassy, which had also temporarily closed earlier in the day, has since reopened.
