The Cuban military has opened fire on an American vessel, killing four people and injuring six, according to reports.
Cuba Home Office (MININT) said today (February 25) a U.S. speedboat with Florida registration number FL7726SH, was detected within one nautical mile northeast of the El Pino Channel, in Cayo Falcones, Corralillo Municipality, in Villa Clara.
A confrontation started, according to the official statement from the Home Office, when the "violating" vessels fired at the Cuban border guards injuring the commander, after a unit of the Border Guard Troops approached the boat to identify it.
The statement read the "offending boat opened fire against the Cuban personnel, causing the commander of Cuban vessel to be injured. As a result of the confrontation, at the time of this report, on the foreign side, four aggressors were killed and six were injured, who were evacuated and received medical assistance".
The official note from the Cuban Home Office also read: "Cuba reaffirms its commitment to protecting its territorial waters, based on the principle that national defence is a fundamental pillar for the Cuban State in order to protect its sovereignty and stability in the region. Investigations are continuing by the competent authorities to fully clarify the facts."

who cares if they were drug smugglers or not?
they tried to shoot at cuban police so they had to die
plus that boat was from florida, which means it's barely american. it was probably being piloted by mexicans anyway.

A bunch of south Florida trumptards got juiced and then went all covert ops wannabee and launched their own version of bay of pigs2
The official version gives one boat registration but then the story days " vessels" started firing at the Cubans. So was more then one boat from USA involved? -

I dunno and question how true this is.
It could turn out to be another Gulf of Tonkin affair.
If it did happen will Turd Lump Inc. recognize Cuba's right to self defense?
