US urges its citizens to abstain from travelling to Cyprus After Iranian drone attack

The United States has raised the travel advisory level for Cyprus and urged its citizens to reconsider their travel plans to the island.

According to a statement from the US Department of State, travellers are advised to “reconsider travel due to the threat of armed conflict and limited US embassy assistance.”

Non-essential US government personnel and their family members have also been authorised to leave Cyprus due to security risks.

Earlier, on March 2, Cyprus cancelled a meeting of EU affairs ministers following an Iranian drone strike on a British airbase on the island.
