The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Washington, DC has tightened security due to a possible terrorist attack in the area, embassy press attache Yury Melnik said.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The embassy said the terrorist threat could be linked to the current situation in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

"We have increased security measures. We have also posted Russian Foreign Ministry's advisory on the official website of the embassy. We ask citizens to stay away from crowded places, exercise caution and follow the Foreign Ministry's advisory," Melnik announced on Thursday.
