A report citing classified intelligence alleged Cuba acquired military drones and discussed plans to attack US interests. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel responded by warning of severe consequences if the US takes military action.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Monday that any US military action against Cuba would lead to a “bloodbath” with incalculable consequences for regional peace and stability. “Cuba does not represent a threat,” Diaz-Canel said in a post on X. The comments follow a report published on Sunday, citing classified intelligence, that said Cuba had acquired more than 300 military drones and had discussed plans to use them to attack the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, US military vessels and Key West, Florida. Foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez said Cuba, “like every nation in the world”, has the right to legitimate self-defence against external aggression under the UN Charter. He also said those seeking to attack Cuba use false pretexts to justify it. REUTERS
