The Bahamas is facing a severe crime wave that has prompted a stark travel warning from the U.S. State Department.

With 18 murders reported in January alone, the Bahamas has become a dangerous place for both locals and visitors.

The U.S. Embassy in Nassau has advised Americans to exercise extreme caution, particularly in the eastern part of the capital city.

Violent crimes, including robberies and assaults, are occurring with increasing frequency, even in broad daylight.

The embassy has stressed that travelers should avoid resisting robbery attempts and maintain a low profile at all times. Nighttime activities should be limited, and visitors are encouraged to stay in well-lit and populated areas.

The Bahamas' Prime Minister, Philip Brave Davis, has acknowledged the crisis and announced increased police presence, including roadblocks, to combat the surge in violence.
