Following a deadly shootout between the Cuban coast guard and a U.S.-registered speedboat in Cuban territorial waters on Wednesday, Russia warned against "provocative actions" around Cuba. The incident resulted in four deaths and six injuries among the boat's occupants, who Cuba claims were armed Cuban-Americans attempting to infiltrate the island for terrorist activities. The Cuban government also reported that their vessel's commander was injured. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio stated the U.S. would independently investigate the incident and respond accordingly. Russia emphasized the importance of resolving humanitarian issues for Cuban citizens and urged restraint to maintain security around the island. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida is also looking into the matter.
