The United States Embassy in Turkey has issued an alert to American citizens on Friday about the possibility of a terrorist attack in the city of Istanbul.
In a statement, the authorities of the North American country have also warned that there is a high risk of attacks being registered in some of the main cities of the country.
“The US mission has received reports of possible terrorist attacks and kidnappings against US citizens and foreigners in Istanbul, including against the Consulate,” says the security alert.
Thus, the Government has asked citizens to act with “the utmost caution in those locations where there are a large number of foreigners or US citizens, such as shopping malls and office buildings.”
