The US State Department has issued a “worldwide caution security alert” for all its citizens overseas, citing the potential for attacks. The alert comes in response to increased tensions in various locations around the world and the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations, or violent actions against US citizens and interests.
In an online statement, the Department of State advises US citizens overseas to exercise increased caution. This includes staying alert in locations frequented by tourists and enrolling in the Smart Traveler Enrolment Program (STEP) to receive information and alerts. The program also makes it easier to locate individuals in case of an emergency overseas.
Additionally, the Department of State urges US citizens to follow their official social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter. By doing so, citizens can stay updated on important information and receive real-time updates on any security concerns or threats.
