Four people aboard a Florida-registered speedboat were killed and six others injured after Cuban border forces opened fire following an exchange of gunfire in Cuban waters. The Cuban government claims the vessel entered territorial waters and fired first, wounding a Cuban patrol commander. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington will independently verify what happened before deciding how to respond, while Vice President J.D. Vance said officials are monitoring the developing incident closely. This deadly clash threatens to escalate tensions between the U.S. and Cuba and raises serious questions about maritime security and regional diplomacy.
