KABUL: The US embassy in Kabul on Saturday warned American citizens to be vigilant at places where people generally congregate noting the fact that violence has increased in Afghanistan following the Eid holiday. Notably, the situation in the country is tense since US President Joe Biden announced that American troops will pull out from the country by September 11. This has made the Taliban intensify attacks on provincial capitals, districts, bases, and checkpoints since the international troops began to withdraw. The Department had also advised US citizens not to travel to Afghanistan due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, armed conflict and the coronavirus, adding that American nationals already in the country should consider departing.
