The Foreign Affairs Ministry has warned against any travel to the southern region of Syria, particularly Der’aa and Latakia.

It said that Maltese travellers in these areas should remain indoors.

The ministry advised nationals to exercise extreme caution in the rest of the country, and to avoid crowds and demonstrations.

Maltese in Syria should inform the honorary consuls at Damascus and Aleppo, or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of their presence.
