It is possible that the explosion near the Israeli embassy in New Delhi is an attack, Tel Aviv has said, putting out an advisory for Israelis living in India and particularly in New Delhi. The advisory asks Israelis to avoid visiting crowded places such as malls and markets, particularly areas frequented by people from the community. It also asks them to stay alert and "avoid externalizing Israeli symbols".
"Avoid participating in events with many participants that are not secure. Avoid posting trip details on social networks and posting photos and visit details before the trip and in real time," the advisory says.
A blast took place last evening near the Israel embassy in Chanakyapuri. Officials said nobody was injured in the incident. An "abusive" letter addressed to the Israeli ambassador was found near the site, they added.
