The U.S. State Department has issued a travel advisory for India and Pakistan, warning its citizens of potential security threats and urging caution.
According to the advisory, there is a credible risk of terrorist attacks in India at any time. Public places such as tourist sites, shopping malls, and marketplaces are particularly vulnerable. The advisory also notes increased threats in regions like Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, where attacks could occur without warning.
The U.S. State Department highlighted that eastern and central parts of India remain unsafe due to terrorism. Additionally, reports of crime, violence, and sexual assaults at Indian tourist destinations were also mentioned.
On the Pakistan side, the advisory pointed out the risk of conflict near the Pakistan-India border and the Line of Control (LoC), where both countries maintain a strong military presence. The situation remains tense, and the potential for military escalation cannot be ruled out.
The advisory urges American citizens to remain vigilant and avoid unnecessary travel to sensitive areas in both countries.
