ANKARA, June 7 (Xinhua) -- The US Embassy in Turkey has called on US citizens to exercise caution during Ramadan following a bomb attack in Istanbul on 7 June. Commenting on the bombing, the advisory said: “No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but extremist organizations or groups continue to issue non-specific warnings of terrorist attacks during the Ramadan holiday.” The domestic security situation has deteriorated markedly in recent months. Key cities, including Istanbul and the capital, Ankara, have been repeatedly attacked. In response to these attacks, President Erdoğan ordered police forces across the country to increase their presence at public events such as football matches and festivals.
