Molotov cocktails thrown at Cuban embassy in Washington
An anonymous submission was received by a high school’s stating that they would “shoot up the school” on Tuesday and specified “special ed kids.”
An assailant attacked the Cuban embassy in Washington with two Molotov cocktails on Sunday night, Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla said on X, adding that nobody was hurt.
The attack occurred just hours after Cuba’s leader Miguel Díaz-Canel returned to the island, having attended events at the United Nations in New York last week.
The embassy reopened in 2015 when the countries restored diplomatic ties severed since 1961. Rodriguez said shots had also been fired at the building from a rifle in a previous attack in 2020.
