Cuba vows to fight ‘terrorist aggression’ after attack from US-registered boat

Cuba has vowed to defend itself against "terrorist aggression" after a US-registered speedboat allegedly attacked Cuban border guards off the northern coast near Varadero. According to Cuban authorities, the boat, originating from the Florida Keys, opened fire, resulting in the death of four exiles and injuries to others, including a Cuban commander. One of the deceased had expressed intentions to incite an uprising against the Cuban government. The incident has the potential to escalate tensions between the US and Cuba, though both governments have signaled a desire to de-escalate. US officials reportedly met with Raul Castro's grandson around the time of the incident, while the US Secretary of State stated the US government had no involvement and is gathering information. Cuba claims to have apprehended an additional member of the group who confessed to planning to meet the boat.
