CUBAN AUTHORITIES CONTINUE ITS DRIVE TO INTERCEPT ILLEGAL BOATS

July 2, 2022 | Colin O. Jarrett |

Cuban authorities say they have intercepted more than a dozen speed boats arriving from the United States this year, including two shooting incidents and at least one death.

They say US authorities have handed over a suspect in the shooting of a Cuban coast guard officer.

The Interior Ministry said its coast guard units had intercepted 13 speedboats from the US entering Cuban waters this year, with 23 crew members.

It was not clear how many of the boats might have reached shore or how many of those aboard were arrested.
