 US embassy urges Americans to leave Belarus   

The US embassy in Belarus issued a fresh warning on Saturday for American citizens to leave the country and refrain from travelling there due to heightened tension in the region.

“The Department of State Travel Advisory for Belarus advises US citizens not to travel to Belarus and urges US citizens in Belarus to depart immediately,” it said in a statement.

“US citizens should be aware that due to ongoing Russian military hostilities in Ukraine there is heightened tension in the region, the situation is unpredictable, and Minsk airport and Belarusian land border operations could change without significant notice,” the embassy said.

The Minsk International Airport is operating with international flights to limited destinations, and land borders with Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland are open and operating at normal capacity, it said.
