Summary

Western embassies in Kyiv, including the U.S., Italy, and Greece, temporarily closed due to warnings of a possible large-scale Russian air attack, following approval for Ukraine to use U.S.-made missiles on Russian territory.

Russia vowed retaliation, escalating tensions with its revised nuclear doctrine permitting nuclear responses to U.S.-backed conventional attacks.

Meanwhile, Ukraine used long-range ATACMS missiles to strike targets inside Russia, including a drone factory and ammunition depot.

North Korean troops are reportedly aiding Russia on the battlefield, and Russia may target Ukraine’s energy grid as winter approaches.
