Four shot dead on US-registered speedboat by border guards, Cuba says

Four people who entered Cuban waters on a US-registered speedboat have been shot dead by border guards, Cuba's government said.

In a statement, Cuba's interior ministry said that the speedboat's passengers opened fire on a coast guard vessel that approached them.

Six additional passengers were wounded in the incident, which took place near an island on Cuba's northern coast.

The identities of those on board the vessel or what it was doing in the area are unclear, with the Cuban government saying an investigation has been launched to "clarify" the event.

In statement posted on X, the ministry said the Florida-registered vessel - with the registration number FL7726SH - was detected near Cayo Falcones, in the country's central Villa Clara province on Wednesday morning.

The Pentagon released footage of the ship being boarded in the Indian Ocean. The US Defence Dpartment says the vessel had defied President Trump's so-called 'quarantine of sanctioned ships in the Caribbean'. The tanker was one of several that fled the Venezuelan coast in early January, after the United States abducted the country's leader Nicolas Maduro. Meanwhile, the US is tightening its grip on Cuba's oil supplies, and the country is beginning to feel the adverse effects. Havana has warned that foreign airlines will no longer be able to refuel because of dwindling supplies. Some airlines have already suspended flights to Cuba. Meanwhile, the UN is warning of a humanitarian crisis.
