DUBAI, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) urged Sunday its citizens who are currently staying in New York or will travel to the U.S. metropolis to exercise caution and avoid public places, following the explosion in the Chelsea area on Saturday.

In a tweet, the UAE embassy in Washington and the UAE consulate in New York said the Gulf Arab state's missions were following the events in New York "closely."

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio said Saturday that there is "no evidence at this point of a terror connection" to an explosion in New York Saturday evening, in which 29 people were injured.

The mayor made the remarks at a news conference Saturday night, saying the real cause of the explosion is still under investigation.

Authorities said police are investigating the blast as a criminal act not immediately linked to any terror organization.

New York is a popular destination for Emirati businessmen, tourists and students. The two international UAE carriers Emirates Airline from Dubai and Etihad Airways from the UAE capital Abu Dhabi fly daily to New York.
