“The U.S. Embassy will offer reduced services until further notice,” the Embassy added.

It, however, advised its nationals to avoid all non-essential travel or movement, stay alert, avoid crowds, review their personal security plans and keep their cell phone charged in case of emergency, including carrying proper identification.
