The reopening of the embassies came after the warming of ties between both countries.

Cuban embassy in Washington, D.C., was attacked on Sunday night when two Molotov cocktails were tossed at the building.

 

Cuba's Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, said the staff at the embassy did not suffer any harm.

 

He said, “In the evening of today, Sep 24, the Cuban embassy in the US was the target of a terrorist attack by an individual who launched 2 Molotov cocktails. The staff suffered no harm. Details are being worked out.

 

“This is the second violent attack against #Cuba's diplomatic mission in Washington since April, 2020. Back then, an individual shot several rounds against the embassy using an assault rifle.

 

“The anti-Cuban groups resort to terrorism when feeling they enjoy impunity, something that #Cuba has repeatedly warned the US authorities about.”

 

The Cuban Embassy in the US was reopened in 2015. In August 2015, the US also reopened its embassy in Cuba more than 54 years after it was closed.

 

The reopening of the embassies came after the warming of ties between both countries.
