Four killed in Cuban forces shooting of US speedboat off Havana coast

Four people were shot dead by Cuban border guards on a US-registered speedboat. The incident occurred in international waters off the coast of Cuba.

According to reports, the speedboat was intercepted by Cuban authorities after it allegedly attacked their soldiers. In response, the Cuban forces opened fire, resulting in the deaths of four individuals and injuries to six others.

The victims were reportedly Cuban nationals who had been attempting to cross into the country from Florida. The incident has sparked tensions between Cuba and the United States.

Cuba’s government has stated that its border guards acted in self-defense after being attacked by the speedboat’s occupants. The US government has not commented on the incident, but it is likely to be a point of contention in relations between the two countries.

The speedboat was reportedly carrying a group of Cuban exiles who had been attempting to reach the island from Florida. The exact circumstances surrounding the attack are still unclear.

The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between Cuba and the United States, particularly with regards to issues related to migration and border security.
