U.S. State Department officials are warning Americans to reconsider travel to an off-the-beaten-path travel destination that often draws adventurous tourists.

The State Department updated its travel advisory for Azerbaijan on April 28, warning Americans to reconsider trips to the country.

Azerbaijan sits in the South Caucasus, at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia.

The advisory stands at a Level 3, which urges Americans to reconsider travel due to safety and security risks.

Azerbaijan, a former Soviet state known for its mud volcanoes and unique landscapes, has become a niche destination for adventurous travelers.

Officials say the region has faced a continued risk of Iranian drone and missile strikes since U.S.-Iran hostilities escalated in late February.

“Landmines and unexploded ordnance exist throughout this region.”

“Do not travel to the southern border region due to risk of armed conflict, unless this is your best overland exit from Iran,” the advisory states.

The advisory also notes that terrorism is a concern in Azerbaijan, as individuals “may attack with little or no warning.”

U.S. officials also warn against traveling to the Armenian-Azeri border “due to the risk of landmines.”

“Landmines and unexploded ordnance exist throughout this region,” the advisory notes. 

“Many of them are not marked, so it can be hard to know where they are.”

Other areas of Azerbaijan that contain landmines are Aghdam, Aghdara, Fuzuli, Gubadli, Jabrayil, Kalbajar, Khankendi, Khojali, Khojavend, Lachın, Shusha and Zangilan.

Fox News Digital reached out to the U.S. State Department for additional comment.

Azerbaijan is the latest in a string of destinations flagged by American officials.

Last month, officials issued an alert for Tirana, Albania, another budget-friendly destination, over Iran-related security concerns.

The State Department also updated its Haiti travel advisory in April, warning Americans not to visit due to widespread kidnappings and ransom demands.
