Overview

• The US State Department has issued a Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory for the India-Pakistan border, citing terrorism and potential armed conflict.
• Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, including the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), are also under the highest travel warning due to frequent terrorist attacks.
• The advisory highlights threats from violent extremist groups, which have targeted civilians, government facilities, and US diplomats in the past.
• Travelers are advised to avoid the Wagah-Attari border crossing unless necessary and to confirm its operational status beforehand.
• Major cities like Islamabad are noted to have better security infrastructure, but the overall security environment in Pakistan remains unpredictable and volatile.
