Four dead after gunfire exchange between Cuban troops and individuals aboard U.S.-registered speedboat
Four people were killed and six injured after a gunfire exchange between Cuban border forces and individuals aboard a U.S.-registered speedboat near Cuba’s northern coast.
Cuban authorities said the boat’s occupants, described as Cuban residents of the United States, opened fire first and were allegedly planning a “terrorist” infiltration. Weapons and tactical gear were reportedly seized and the six survivors were detained.
Cuban officials said they also detained another individual accused of helping facilitate the alleged infiltration, adding that most of those involved had criminal histories.
Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. is monitoring the situation, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated diplomats in Havana are working to determine whether any of those involved are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and members of Florida’s congressional delegation, including Rep. Carlos Gimenez and Sen. Rick Scott, called for a full investigation to establish what happened and whether any victims were Americans.
