The United States received information about potential threats to multiple locations in Mogadishu and subsequently canceled upcoming travel for diplomatic personnel, the US Embassy in Somalia said in a statement.
"The US Embassy in Nairobi has received information about threats to multiple locations in Mogadishu, including Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu," the statement said on Monday.
The embassy canceled all travel for personnel scheduled on April 9, the statement said.
The US State Department maintains a "do not travel" advisory for Somalia due to potential crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health issues, kidnapping and piracy, the statement also said.
The US has extremely limited ability to provide emergency assistance to US citizens in Somalia because of a lack of a permanent consular presence in the country, the statement added.
