Due to the ongoing conflict and extreme risk environment, clients should reconsider all non-essential travel to the border region. Those in the area should minimise non-essential movement outside of secure compounds and only travel with maximum security precautions in place. Prior to deployment, or as part of any pre-operational decision-making, clients are advised to conduct a thorough localised risk assessment to identify any potential threats to operations and staff safety.
