Cuba has charged six suspects from the speedboat with terrorism and revealed that the boat contained numerous weapons, including high-powered firearms, over 12,800 rounds of ammunition, and 11 pistols.

The incident took place approximately 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) northeast of Cayo Falcones, off the northern coast of Cuba. Cuban authorities disclosed the boat's registration number, but verification of this detail was not feasible as boat registrations are not publicly accessible in Florida.
