US citizens currently located in Malaysia should stay alert and exercise caution in light of a growing number of terrorist attacks in the region, the US embassy in Malaysia said in a security message on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US authorities noted that the Daesh has claimed responsibility for the June 28 explosion at a nightclub in Kuala Lumpur, but underscored that it is currently unaware of any specific threat in Malaysia.

"In view of…the recent incidents in Bangladesh, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur reminds US citizens of the need for caution and awareness of personal security," the embassy stated.

Earlier on Wednesday, the US Bureau of Diplomatic Security warned of possible new terrorist attacks in Bangladesh after the deadly attack in a Dhaka restaurant.

Daesh, outlawed in many countries, including Russia, had initially claimed responsibility for the incident.
