#NoAlTerrorismo

The recent attack against the Cuban embassy in the United States is today a reminder to the world that the Caribbean country is a victim of terrorism and has been so for a long time.

This is what the head of the Cuban Mission in this capital, Lianys Torres, warned when speaking with Prensa Latina about the events of September 24, which generated a broad rejection here from various sectors.

In further proof of the admiration and respect that Cuba arouses, the rejection of the terrorist attack against the Antillean Embassy in Washington, D.C., on Sunday night, was not long in coming from various parts of the world.

During the night of September 24, 2023, a terrorist attack occurred against the premises of the Cuban Embassy in the United States, when an individual threw two Molotov cocktails from the sidewalk over the perimeter fence of the facility, which hit the front wall of that diplomatic mission. There were no injuries to the personnel who were present at that headquarters. At the request of the Cuban diplomatic mission, officers of the United States Secret Service arrived at the building and had access to its facilities to verify the violent action perpetrated.

The Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, denounced on his Twitter account a terrorist attack perpetrated on the night of Sunday, September 24 against the Cuban embassy in the United States. Apparently, an individual threw two Molotov cocktails. So far, no injuries to personnel have been reported and details are being clarified.

It is the second violent attack against the Cuban diplomatic headquarters in Washington since April 2020. On that occasion, an individual fired an assault rifle at the headquarters.
