U.S. citizen among those killed after Cuban military fired on speedboat, report says

At least one of the individuals killed after the Cuban military fired on a stolen U.S. speedboat was a U.S. citizen, according to reporting by Axios.

Cuban authorities previously stated that the vessel was intercepted in Cuban territorial waters. Officials alleged the boat had been stolen and was involved in a maritime security incident, though full details about the confrontation have not been publicly released.

The number of total casualties and the identities of those on board have not been fully confirmed by U.S. officials. It remains unclear whether the incident occurred during an attempt to enter or leave Cuban waters.

The case is expected to draw diplomatic scrutiny as both governments review the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The situation remains developing, and further official statements are anticipated.
