The United States of America warned its citizens against traveling to 21 countries around the world, in light of the escalation of security threats and the deterioration of conditions in several regions.

The US State Department added North Korea and Burkina Faso to the list of countries that are advised to avoid completely.

The list also included countries such as: Yemen, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Russia, Ukraine, Myanmar, Mali, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Venezuela, Haiti, and Belarus.

The US State Department explained that the inclusion of North Korea came as a result of "the serious and continuous danger of detention or detention for long or arbitrary periods," while Burkina Faso was included due to the outbreak of "terrorism, crime and kidnappings."

Washington adopts a four -level travel warning system, starting from "taking regular precautions" to "Do not travel", which is the most severe warning.

The American authorities also warned of the need to be very careful when visiting some areas inside Mexico, despite the country's general warning level at the second level.

These warnings come in light of the continued disturbances and conflicts in a number of regions around the world, which raises the risk of travel and calls for more caution.
