Rubio Calls Cuban Shootout 'Highly Unusual,' Withholds Judgment on US Speedboat Incident

Secretary of State Marco Rubio described a recent shootout between Cuba's coast guard and a U.S.-registered speedboat as 'highly unusual,' withholding judgment on the incident until further details are available. No one was reported injured in the confrontation. The exchange took place near Cuba's coastline, where American citizens have been warned to exercise caution due to increased Cuban military activity. Rubio's assessment of the situation is that it remains unclear what triggered the clash between the two parties.
