The U.S. Mission in Pakistan has issued a security warning advising its personnel and U.S. citizens to avoid the Serena Hotel Peshawar from November 27 until December 16, 2024.

The advisory said that the warning is based on credible security information.

“U.S. citizens are encouraged to avoid the hotel and the area around the hotel during this period and reconsider travel plans. U.S. citizens are reminded about the “Do Not Travel” Travel Advisory for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province due to terrorism, dated September 10, 2024,” the advisory said.

Those already in the area have been advised to exercise extreme caution and depart immediately if unexpectedly nearby. U.S. citizens should review their personal security plans, monitor local news, maintain a low profile, and be aware of their surroundings, the mission said.

The advisory recommended carrying identification and cooperating with local authorities and reviewing travel reports.
