Cuba’s president warns of ‘bloodbath’ if US takes military action
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel warned that a US attack would trigger a "bloodbath" in Cuba, a claim echoed across multiple outlets. France 24 reports sanctions on Cuba’s intelligence agency and officials by the US, and notes reports of drone acquisitions from Russia and Iran. The Hill corroborates Díaz-Canel’s warning and cites Axios, which reported Cuba possesses over 300 drones and discussed plans to use them against targets such as Guantanamo Bay or Key West. All three sources align on the warning and on the drone-related context, though the specifics of intent are attributed to Axios and US actions are described as sanctions in separate outlets.
