Mexico launches search for two missing aid boats bound for Cuba

In March 2026, the Mexican navy initiated a search operation for two aid boats that disappeared in the Caribbean Sea. The vessels, carrying nine crew members, were transporting humanitarian aid from Isla Mujeres, Mexico, to Havana, Cuba. Contact with the boats was lost after their departure. The boats failed to arrive in Havana as scheduled, prompting the search and rescue efforts. The reason for the disappearance of the boats remains unknown.
