Russian travelers vacationing in Thailand may be in danger according to Moscow’s Federal Security Service (FSB).

The Russian agency has warned Thailand about a group of 10 militants from the self-styled Islamic State has entered the kingdom to target Russians.

The leaked letter, marked “secret” and “urgent” and signed by the deputy head of Thailand’s special branch, was widely circulated on local media late Thursday.

Thai police were told by FSB that 10 Syrian militants from Islamic State entered the Kingdom between October 15 and 31 to target Russian interests.
