An explosion in the Maldives capital Male on Thursday night, which injured former president and current Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed, 53, has been condemned by the international community and described as an ominous development for the country.
With the blast site area near the home of Mr Nasheed, who is being treated for multiple injuries, in the Neeloafaru Magu neighbourhood, which is less than 15 minutes from the city s main international airport, where does that leave tourists?
Should tourists in the Maldives be concerned?
Velana International Airport is still operating as normal, with flights from Dubai, Istanbul and Singapore having already landed safely on Friday morning.

Visit Maldives has launched a new campaign, under the heading ‘I’m Vaccinated’.
The project aims to share a positive message regarding the vaccination of staff working in the tourism sector, as well as promote the initiatives undertaken to ensure the Maldives remains one of the safest destinations for travellers.
The goal of this campaign is to ensure the Maldives is the first fully vaccinated tourism sector in the world.
Along with the unique geographical formation of the islands which offer natural physical distancing, as well as the stringent health and safety measures in place, a fully vaccinated tourism sector will be an added advantage in encouraging tourists to visit the destination.
