JAKARTA - South Korea will extend a travel ban to six countries in the Middle East and Africa, as well as parts of the Philippines for another six months.
As quoted by Antara from the Yonhap News Agency, the ban was made following prolonged security risks, the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The ban is scheduled to expire on January 31.
The ban will be extended to Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan, and the southern regions of the Philippine archipelago - the Zamboanga Peninsula, Sulu, Basilan, and Tawi-Tawi.

The designated areas are exposed to a constant risk of terrorist attacks and political instability which is likely to persist for a considerable period of time, the ministry said.
Travel to Iraq, Syria, Somalia, and Afghanistan has been banned since 2007. Seoul imposed a ban on Yemen in 2011, Libya in 2014, and the islands of the Philippines in 2015.
