Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior (MININT) has announced that its border patrol forces engaged in a shootout with a speedboat from the United States, killing four people.
In a statement published on social media, the Cuban government described the boat as having a license plate from the state of Florida, a peninsula roughly 145 kilometres, or 90 miles, from the island.
It also accused the speedboat of firing the first shot, precipitating an exchange of gunfire.
“The offending boat fire opened against Cuban troops, which caused the commander of the Cuban vessel to be injured,” the statement said.
“Four assailants were shot and six injured, who were evacuated and received medical assistance.”
