United States cautions on travelling to Pakistan

KPK province, PoK and India-Pakistan border, were placed in the most dangerous “Level Four” category.

Washington: The US has advised its citizens to reconsider their travel to Pakistan due to terrorism and asked them not to travel to restive Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), identified as the most dangerous areas due to terror attacks.

While Pakistan in general has been placed in “Level Three” category in the latest travel advisory issued by the US on Monday, several parts of the country, including Balochistan, KPK province, PoK and India-Pakistan border, were placed in the most dangerous “Level Four” category, in which US citizens are asked not to travel due to high risk areas.

“Due to risks to civil aviation operating within or near Pakistan, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), the State Department said.

Asserting that terror groups continue plotting attacks, it said that terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls, military installations, airports, universities, tourist locations among other places.
