The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bucharest has re-evaluated and raised the alert level for Afghanistan and urges Romanian citizens to leave the territory of this state as a matter of urgency and to avoid any travel to Afghanistan. Security developments in the country are associated with a major risk of terrorist attacks and armed clashes, a statement said.
The activity of the Romanian Embassy in Kabul was suspended in 2019, following an attack that severely damaged the building, but Romanian citizens in Afghanistan can address the Embassy of our country in Islamabad, Pakistan. In eight days, Taliban insurgents have captured nearly half of Afghanistan's provincial capitals and are controlling most of the country's north, west and south. The capital Kabul, Mazar-i-Sharif, which is the main city in the north, and Jalalabad, in the east, are the only three major cities still under government control.
