The United States government has renewed its warning against travel to Russia, citing growing security concerns linked to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
In a fresh travel advisory issued on Thursday, the U.S. Department of State strongly urged American citizens to avoid visiting Russia, pointing to increasing drone attacks, explosions, and other security threats reported across several parts of the country.
According to the advisory, recent drone-related incidents have not been limited to areas bordering Ukraine but have also occurred in major Russian cities, including Moscow, Kazan, and St. Petersburg.
The U.S. government warned that the expanding reach of drone attacks highlights the evolving security situation within Russia and poses potential risks to foreign nationals.
American citizens currently residing in Russia were advised to remain vigilant, monitor local developments closely, and follow instructions from Russian authorities during emergencies.
The advisory further urged individuals to immediately move away from any suspected drone activity and seek shelter when necessary.
Officials also cautioned against approaching, touching, photographing, or handling drones, drone debris, or objects believed to have been dropped by unmanned aerial vehicles.
Additionally, the State Department noted that Russian laws prohibit the publication or sharing of images and videos showing the aftermath of drone attacks, warning that violations could result in fines or imprisonment.
The latest warning comes amid continued hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, a conflict that has resulted in significant casualties, widespread destruction, and heightened tensions across the region.
Washington has repeatedly advised its citizens against travelling to Russia since the outbreak of the war, citing security concerns, military activity, and the unpredictable nature of the conflict.
Authorities say the advisory is part of ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of American citizens as the security environment in Russia continues to evolve.
