Four people on a speedboat were killed and another six injured in a “confrontation” near Cuba’s coast after those on board the United States-registered vessel opened fire on Cuban troops on Wednesday, according to the Cuban Ministry of the Interior.
In a statement Wednesday night, the ministry said the 10 people aboard the speedboat were “Cuban residents of the United States,” who were armed with weapons and “intended to carry out an infiltration for terrorist purposes.”
