Havana observed a day of solemn mourning on Thursday as the remains of 32 Cuban officers, killed during what was described as a stunning US attack in Venezuela, arrived back in the capital. White-gloved soldiers marched from a plane carrying the boxes, accompanied by the sombre sounds of trumpets and drums at Havana’s airport.
Thousands of Cubans lined one of the city’s most iconic streets, awaiting the bodies of colonels, lieutenants, majors, and captains, as the island continued to face threats from the administration of Donald Trump.
