Circuit theory breaks down at high frequencies and the appropriate generalisation of Kirchoffs is embodied in Maxwell’s equations.

Indeed, it's a bit like Newton vs Einstein.

The one is a special case of the other, it doesn't make the former wrong but the latter gives better answers in situations where the special case constraints aren't satisfied.
