  "summary": "South Korea's foreign ministry has imposed a Level 4 travel ban on parts of Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan. The ban, which is the highest level in the country's four-tier travel warning system, takes effect at 11 p.m.\n\nThe travel ban was imposed due to a surge in violence linked to coordinated separatist attacks. Parts of Balochistan are also subject to a travel ban imposed by the Pakistani government.\n\nThe ministry has urged those planning to visit the region to cancel their trips and those residing there to evacuate. Those who visit or stay in areas under the highest-level travel ban without special permission can be punished.",
