"Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Turkey," read the update, which was issued late on Sunday night (29 January). No additional details for the timing of, or reason for, the update were disclosed.
In particular, the FCDO’s terror advice for Turkey focuses on the perceived threat to air passengers, stressing there is a "heightened risk" of attacks targeting the country’s aviation sector.
The advice notes the most likely places for terror attacks to take place were in the country’s major cities, such as capital Ankara and Istanbul, as well as in the south-east of the country near Turkey’s borders with Syria, Iraq and Iran.
