Cuba's president warns of bloodbath if US conducts military action
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel warned that any U.S. military action against Cuba would result in a "bloodbath" with incalculable consequences for regional stability. The warning follows an Axios report citing classified intelligence that Cuba acquired over 300 military drones and discussed plans to attack the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay and other U.S. targets. Cuba's government denied posing a threat and asserted its right to self-defense under international law.
