WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Late on Friday, Turkish authorities said that an attempted coup took place in the country. The coup was suppressed several hours later. Over 180 people were killed and 1,470 were injured during the events, while nearly 3,000 people have already been detained.

"In light of the July 15 coup attempt and its aftermath, we suggest U.S. citizens reconsider travel to Turkey at this time," the warning reads.

The warning was initially published in late June amid increased terrorist threat in Turkey.
