Moscow escalates threats against Kyiv after drone and hypersonic missile attacks, advising Americans to leave the Ukrainian capital.
Russia has intensified threats against Kyiv, vowing “systematic and consistent strikes” following a barrage of hundreds of drones and a new hypersonic missile targeting the region. The warning came as Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to evacuate American diplomatic staff and citizens from the city.
The escalation follows recent attacks on the Kyiv region, which Russia justifies as retaliation for an alleged strike on a school dormitory in occupied territory. Moscow’s rhetoric has grown increasingly aggressive, raising concerns over further military action in the coming days.
No immediate market reaction was reported, but geopolitical tensions continue to weigh on global risk sentiment.
