In compliance with the current Cuban law, forensic and investigative actions that will allow full clarification of the facts, as well as the involvement of each of the perpetrators, are moving forward.
The statements made by the detainees themselves, together with a series of investigative procedures, reinforce the evidence against them, while new elements are being obtained that establish the involvement of other individuals based in the United States.
From the outset, the Cuban authorities have maintained timely communication with their US counterparts. On March 2, 2026, US authorities conveyed through diplomatic channels their willingness to fully cooperate in the investigation. Cooperation could include the exchange of information and evidence, as well as other joint actions.
Given the seriousness of the events and the threat that terrorism poses, not only to Cuba, the national authorities, consistently with their historical position on this issue, consider it is their duty to cooperate reciprocally in confronting this dangerous scourge for all humanity.
The injured detainees continue to receive specialized medical care according to their health status and the severity of their injuries. Roberto Álvarez Ávila died on March 4, as a result of his injuries.
The public will be informed as the investigation progresses.
