The Department of State has renewed a travel warning for the Republic of Maldives, warning potential visitors of ongoing issues of terrorism. On Tuesday, the agency reissued language for a previous Level 2 travel warning for the popular destination located south of India in the Indian Ocean.

A Level 2 warning advises travelers to “exercise increased caution” and is the second least serious warning on the agency’s four-tier scale.

The agency also warns that attacks can occur on remote islands, potentially delaying response times from authorities.
