The United States Department of State on Monday evening, November 8, urged its citizens not to travel to Afghanistan under any circumstances.
The department's Bureau of Consular Affairs stated in an official notice that Afghanistan remains classified under Level 4, the highest travel advisory warning.
Level 4 advisories explicitly instruct American citizens to completely avoid traveling to designated countries due to extreme safety and security risks.
The State Department noted that these destinations are hazardous and citizens should not travel there for any reason whatsoever.
Alongside Afghanistan, 21 other countries have been placed under this severe warning level, including Belarus, Burkina Faso, Myanmar, Central African Republic, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The advisory list also encompasses Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Niger, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Ukraine, and Yemen.
