The news outlet claimed that the island has received attack UAVs amid fear of an invasion
Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones from Russia and Iran and discussed possible attacks on US assets in the region, Axios claimed on Sunday, citing classified intelligence reports.
US President Donald Trump imposed an oil embargo on the Caribbean island in February, prompting blackouts and fuel shortages, and repeatedly threatened military action, saying this month that Cuba could be his next target after the war in Iran is over.
According to reports cited by Axios, Cuban officials discussed possible attacks on the US base at Guantanamo Bay, naval ships, and Key West air base in Florida. A senior US official told the outlet that the White House considers the potential use of drones by Cuba as “a growing threat.
Axios added, however, that US officials do not view Cuba as an imminent threat or believe that it was actively planning an attack.
