Cuba has released photographs of the numerous weapons, ammunition, and tactical gear confiscated from the gunmen who recently attempted what it has called an “armed infiltration for terrorist purposes” off the island nation’s coast.
Ten gunmen aboard a Florida-registered speedboat attempted to enter Cuban territorial waters on Wednesday morning, the Cuban Embassy in the US said in a statement on Saturday. They allegedly fired on a patrol vessel during an attempted interception, wounding the captain. The Cuban boat, manned by five people, returned fire, killing three gunmen and injuring the others, according to the statement.
The authorities seized a number of weapons, 134 magazines and a total of 12,846 rounds of ammunition of various calibers, the embassy said. They also allegedly captured a drone, a portable generator and ten communications devices.
