India asks its citizens to avoid unnecessary travel to and within Ukraine
India has advised its citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to and within Ukraine and asked them to strictly adhere to the safety and security guidelines issued by the local authorities.
The advisory was issued hours after Russia carried out missile strikes against multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, in which at least 10 people were killed and around 60 others were injured.
