"US Embassy Berlin informs US citizens to avoid moving around within Hamburg due to escalated violence at demonstrations, road closures and disruptions to public transportation during the G20 event," the advisory stated.
The embassy advised US citizens to follow local media and comply with police instructions, the message noted.
The ongoing anti-G20 protests in Hamburg have already resulted in injuries to at least 196 police officers. A total of 70 protesters were detained, according to local police.
Security at the summit is being provided by a total of 20,000 policemen from all over the country, and the police have reportedly requested additional support from other German federal states as more protests are expected on Saturday.
US citizens in Istanbul, Turkey should also be cautious if they are in the area of a planned political rally on Sunday because these events can turn confrontational or become targets of terrorists, according to US Embassy and Consulates in Turkey.
