The Cuban embassy was targeted with two Molotov cocktails.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla disclosed that an individual carried out a “terrorist attack” on the Cuban embassy in the US by throwing two Molotov cocktails on Saturday.
In a post on his account on X, Parrilla affirmed that no harm befell the embassy’s staff.
“In the evening of today, Sep 24, the Cuban embassy in the US was the target of a terrorist attack by an individual who launched 2 Molotov cocktails. The staff suffered no harm. Details are being worked out,” Parrilla said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Notably, according to the Cuban top diplomat, this marks the second violent assault on Cuba’s diplomatic mission in Washington since April 2020, when an individual fired multiple rounds at the embassy using an assault rifle.
At the time, Cuba referred to the firearm attack on its embassy in Washington as an act of “terrorism”.
Blaming the attack on US inaction, the Cuban Foreign Minister said anti-Cuban groups resort to terrorism when feeling they enjoy impunity, something that Cuba has repeatedly warned the US authorities about.
