Saudi Arabia issues advisory to citizens in Istanbul following attack

JEDDAH: The Kingdom’s embassy in Turkey has warned citizens in Istanbul to be vigilant after a shooting of a Saudi. 

The armed robbery happened in the Sisli area of the city, prompting Saudi authorities to issue a warning to avoid that area, as well as Taksim, especially after sunset.

In 2017, a terror attack killed seven Saudis in the city on New Year’s Day.
