For reference: A previous security alert from the US Embassy was released on 8 January this year. On the night of 8-9 January, Russia fired an Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile on Lviv Oblast.

Background: Earlier on 23 May, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, citing intelligence from Kyiv's US and European partners, that Russia is likely preparing a strike on Ukraine using the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile, including on Kyiv.
