extr Afghanistan: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 5 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
Multiple dangerous events are occurring simultaneously across global regions including active warfare in Ukraine, regional conflicts in the Middle East, maritime security threats in strategic waterways, and acute domestic weather emergencies. While no immediate threat to U.S. civilian safety exists within 24-48 hours, the convergence of these crises creates elevated risk potential within days to weeks.
