Ranking Pakistan on Level 3 (reconsider travel), the State Department asked its citizens to reconsider travel to Pakistan.
Americans are advised not to travel to Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
“These improvements will provide US citizens with clear, timely, and reliable safety and security information worldwide,” the State Department said.
While India has been ranked Level 2 (exercise increased caution). Level 1 advises travelers to exercise normal precaution, while Level 4, which has countries like Afghanistan, recommends “Do Not Travel”.
