The government of Cuba has confirmed a fifth casualty resulting from a confrontation last month involving a speedboat registered in Florida. The incident occurred when the vessel allegedly opened fire on Cuban soldiers near the nation's northern coast.

The Ministry of Interior announced that Roberto Alvarez Avila succumbed to his injuries on Sat, Mar 4, 2026. The ministry also stated that the remaining injured detainees are receiving specialized medical care based on their health conditions.

On Sun, Feb 26, 2026, Cuban authorities reported that soldiers engaged with a speedboat carrying 10 individuals, which approached the island and fired on the troops. The passengers were identified as armed Cubans residing in the United States, allegedly attempting to infiltrate the island to incite violence. The confrontation resulted in four fatalities and six injuries.

The Interior Ministry indicated that statements from the detainees and investigative procedures have strengthened the evidence against them. New findings suggest the involvement of additional individuals based in the United States.

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.

The event has potential implications for diplomatic relations, as it may exacerbate tensions between the United States and Cuba.
