In a shocking turn of events, the Cuban government stated that 32 of their citizens were killed in a U.S.-led military raid targeting Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. The raid involved aerial bombings and ground operations, causing collateral damage, which Cuban officials have strongly protested.
The Cuban foreign minister labeled the operation "an act of terror," arguing that many victims were innocent civilians with no involvement in political conflicts between the US and Venezuela. Cuba has demanded an investigation into the event and called on the international community for support.
Meanwhile, the US government confirmed the operation but insisted it targeted individuals involved in drugs and human rights violations. US officials expressed condolences but maintained the operation was needed for regional stability. This incident has rekindled tensions between Cuba and the US, which struggled to rebuild ties after decades of hostility.
President Miguel Díaz-Canel vowed to seek justice and explore legal options. Demonstrations are expected as citizens protest US aggression. Calls for accountability continue, raising questions about US foreign policy and regional relations in Latin America.
