On the morning of February 25, an American boat entered the waters off the northern coast of Cuba and opened fire.
This was reported by the BBC.
The vessel, registered in Florida, was found near Cayo Falcones, in the central province of Villa Clara.
Cuba’s Interior Ministry reported that the coast guard shot dead four people on the boat and injured six others.
A statement from the Cuban Embassy in the United States said that when five border guards approached the boat for identification, they opened fire, wounding the Cuban commander.
“In the face of current challenges, Cuba reaffirms its determination to defend its territorial waters,” the Cuban diplomatic mission said in a statement.
Recall that Washington is considering the example of Venezuela and the operation to capture Maduro as a model of how to put pressure on the Cuban government.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sharply criticized the Cuban government , calling it a “big problem.”
