The United States has flagged a potential drone threat from Cuba, citing intelligence that the island nation may be considering attacks on the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, US vessels in nearby waters, and possibly Key West, Florida, just 90 miles from Havana.
According to Axios, Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and is reportedly discussing ways to deploy them against US targets.
A senior US official told Axios that the Trump administration views these developments, along with the presence of Iranian military advisers in Havana, as a growing security concern. “When we think about those types of technologies being that close, and a range of bad actors from terror groups to drug cartels to Iranians to the Russians, it’s concerning," the official said.
