extr Afghanistan: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 5 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
The United States is actively engaged in military operations against Iran with significant escalation risk, while Russia continues offensive operations in Ukraine and Russia-China conduct joint military drills. Domestically, dangerous flash flooding affects Texas, heat advisories cover multiple states, and Kilauea volcano enters watch status. The convergence of active military operations, regional conflicts, and elevated tensions warrants heightened civilian preparedness awareness.
