(Washington, 17th, Comprehensive Foreign Report) US media outlet Axios reported today, citing classified intelligence, that Cuba has acquired over 300 military drones and has recently begun discussing plans to use them to attack the U.S. military base and ships at Guantanamo Bay.
Reuters, citing the Axios report, said that Cuba might also use these drones to attack Key West, Florida, which is north of the Cuban capital, Havana.
A senior U.S. official told Axios that this intelligence could be a justification for U.S. military action and shows the extent to which the Trump administration views Cuba as a threat, due to its drone warfare development and the presence of Iranian military advisors in Havana.
Reuters could not immediately verify the authenticity of the report.
