The US embassy in Syria has warned its citizens of an "increased possibility" of attacks during the holiday marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in the coming days.
"The State Department warns U.S. citizens of the increased possibility of attacks during the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which could target embassies, international organizations, and Syrian public institutions in Damascus," a statement posted on the embassy's website late Friday said.
"Methods of attack may include... individual attackers, armed individuals or the use of explosive devices," he added.
Security in Syria remains weak after Syrian opposition forces led by extremists toppled long-time ruler Bashar al-Assad in December, after nearly 14 years of war that erupted with the brutal suppression of anti-government protests in 2011.
Washington advises its citizens not to travel to Syria "due to significant risks of terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, hostage-taking, armed conflict, and unjust detention," the statement said.
Embassy operations have been suspended since 2012.
