An FBI team has arrived in Cuba to investigate a February armed clash involving Cuban soldiers and the crew of a US-flagged speedboat from Florida, which resulted in multiple deaths and terrorism charges for the survivors. The investigation focuses on the fatal shooting of the US-flagged speedboat.

The Cuban government announced that ten armed Cubans living in the US, attempting to infiltrate the island via speedboat, were killed after opening fire on Cuban soldiers.

The Cuban Coast Guard killed four people in a shootout with occupants of a US-registered speedboat. The incident occurred against a backdrop of growing tensions.
