Thirty-two Cuban nationals were killed in a United States military operation in Venezuela aimed at capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The raid took place early Saturday in Caracas, and both Maduro and Flores were taken to the United States, where they are expected to appear in court on Monday on drug-related charges. Cuba’s government announced two days of national mourning on January 5 and 6 to honor the victims, according to a statement released in Havana.
The Cuban statement did not provide detailed information but confirmed that those killed were members of the country’s armed forces and intelligence agencies. It said they had fulfilled their security and defense duties with dignity and bravery, dying in direct combat against the attackers. Former US President Donald Trump told the New York Post that many Cubans lost their lives trying to protect Maduro, calling it a poor decision.
The incident has drawn attention to the involvement of Cuban personnel in Venezuela’s defense and the escalating tension surrounding the US operation.
