The State Department has advised Americans considering travel to the Maldives to exercise greater caution than normal because of the threat of terrorism.

The travel advisory, issued on July 11, is a Level 2 “exercise increased caution” warning. While that’s one notch higher than the Level 1 “exercise normal precautions,” it’s lower than a Level 3 alert that urges U.S. citizens to reconsider travel.
