The U.S. Embassy in Podgorica, Montenegro has informed U.S. citizens of an "active security situation" amid reports of an attack, The Washington Examiner reported.

“The U.S. Embassy in Podgorica advises U.S. citizens there is an active security situation at the U.S. Embassy in Podgorica. Avoid the Embassy until further notice,” said an alert sent from the embassy on Thursday, local time.

The embassy did not get into specifics about the situation, but Jon Haworth, deputy news editor at Sky News, said the embassy was attacked with grenades and that one of the attackers has been reported dead in an explosion.

A report from web portal www.portalanalitika.me said that an unidentified man threw an explosive device at the embassy before blowing himself up, according to Reuters.

Police blocked off the street with a vehicle and no damage to the embassy was evident, said a Reuters photographer in the area.
