Cuban forces killed four people aboard a speedboat with a Florida license plate on Wednesday morning, according to Cuba's interior ministry. The incident occurred after the boat entered Cuban territorial waters in Falcones Cay, Villa Clara Province. Cuban border guard troops approached the vessel to identify it but were shot at by someone from the boat, injuring the commander of the Cuban boat. The border guards then returned fire. Six other people aboard the vessel were injured and are receiving medical attention. U.S. authorities are investigating the incident, while U.S. representatives are calling for action, and Cuban authorities are also investigating. Falcones Cay is just over 160km from Florida.
