India issued a fresh advisory asking its citizens to exercise heightened vigilance and avoid non-essential movement. The
Indian Embassy in Baghdad
is closely monitoring the evolving security situation in Iraq, with particular attention to the safety and welfare of Indian nationals, including those currently stranded.
Citizens are advised to remain calm, refrain from acting on unverified information or rumours, and rely solely on official communications. Indian nationals holding long-term visas or resident status in Iraq are advised to stay at their current locations. Those on short-term visits who are stranded may consider returning to India via Saudi Arabia using land border routes.
All travellers are urged to carefully assess the prevailing security situation before commencing their journey and to exercise all necessary precautions to ensure safety.
