Military exercises in Cuba amid tensions with the United States
President Miguel Díaz-Canel oversees new defense drills in Havana as rhetoric against Washington hardens and Cuba prepares for potential escalation
Military exercises in Cuba amid tensions with the United States were overseen this weekend by President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who appeared alongside senior military leaders during a national defense day held against the backdrop of worsening relations with Washington.
Speaking during the drills, Díaz-Canel said the exercises take on particular importance in the current context, citing what he described as a growing hegemonic offensive by the United States government. He referred specifically to the January 3 operation in Venezuela that resulted in the fall of Nicolás Maduro.
During the day, Díaz-Canel observed tactical maneuvers by armored units in Havana, later engaging with university students involved in live-fire training and visiting air defense positions. The activities form part of military exercises in Cuba amid tensions with the United States, now in their third consecutive weekend.
The ongoing mobilization includes training in ambush tactics, the use of mines, and defense against weapons of mass destruction. Cuban authorities have framed the exercises as preparation for a range of potential scenarios.
Last week, the National Defense Council approved measures linked to a possible “State of War,” as official rhetoric toward Washington continues to intensify. Cuban leaders have reiterated that there can be “no surrender or capitulation” in the event of a hypothetical attack.
According to officials, military exercises in Cuba amid tensions with the United States are intended to reinforce readiness and signal the country’s determination to respond to external threats.
