The US Mission in Pakistan has advised US citizens residing in the country to exercise caution amid heightened tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In an advisory issued today, the state department said, “Due to heightened tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Pakistani security forces have increased their presence in major cities in response to potential terrorist threats.
“Law enforcement facilities, military installations, and major commercial centres remain likely targets for terrorist organisations,” it said.
“The US Mission advises citizens to exercise caution when visiting these locations, particularly during peak hours,” the advisory added.
