Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior 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 licence 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 crew of the violating speedboat opened fire on the Cuban personnel, resulting in the injury of the commander of the Cuban vessel,” the statement said.
