The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office is currently advising against all travel to areas in Pakistan where there are reports of militant activity. This applies particularly to northern and western Balochistan, including the Sui/Dera Bugti and Kohlu areas, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas including Waziristan, and border areas except for official crossing points. They also advise against all but essential travel to Quetta (Balochistan) due to the unsettled security situation there.

There is a high threat from terrorism and sectarian violence throughout Pakistan. Attacks can be indiscriminate and in public places, including those frequented by foreigners.
