Northern Mariana Islands

Northern Mariana Islands Travel Advisory
Super Typhoon Bavi is approaching the Northern Mariana Islands, bringing the risk of violent winds, life-threatening seas, flash flooding, and coastal inundation.

Visitors are advised to follow local emergency guidance, prepare for power and communication outages, and secure their accommodations.
Russia
Jul 03, 2026
Russia Travel Advisory
Multiple governments strongly advise against all travel to Russia due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the risk of terrorism, and the potential for arbitrary detention or harassment by Russian authorities. There is a high threat of terrorist attacks, which can be indiscriminate and occur with little warning. Russian security services have a history of wrongfully detaining foreign nationals, and consular assistance may be severely limited.
Guam

Guam Travel Advisory
Super Typhoon Bavi has impacted Guam, bringing heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and strong winds. This has led to significant damage, with transportation, power, water, food supply, telecommunications, emergency services, and medical care potentially severely disrupted. Local authorities have issued warnings and opened emergency shelters. Travel on roads is strongly discouraged, and people are advised to stay in their homes or shelters.

Mali Travel Advisory
Mali faces a dangerous security situation with a very high threat of terrorist attacks and kidnapping throughout the country, including in the capital, Bamako. Armed groups have intensified attacks, targeting military positions, fuel convoys, and key supply routes, leading to severe fuel shortages and transportation difficulties. Violent crime, such as armed robbery and carjacking, is also common. Health infrastructure is strained due to conflict and flooding, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases.
South Sudan
