HAVANA -- An American military operation in Venezuela killed 32 Cuban officers over the weekend, the Cuban government said Sunday in the first official death count provided of the American strikes in the South American nation.
The Cuban military and police officers were on a mission the Caribbean country's military was carrying out at the request of Venezuela's government, according to a statement read on Cuban state TV on Sunday night.
What the Cubans were working on in the South American nation was unclear, but Cuba is a close ally of Venezuela's government and has sent military and police forces to assist in operations for years. Rumors of the deaths circulated on the island over the weekend.

They should not have been in the way.
They picked a bad day to sleep in.
GOOD
Dang it! Ya beat me to it.
Just heard a Cuban American who said that the Cubans killed there were Maduro’s security team. That this is what cuba offers other commie countries instead of money/ weapons etc. This was on the Billy Cunningham radio show.
What kind of expertise could Cuban military personnel bring, other than how to fix 1950s vintage deuce and a halfs?
I don’t believe it, but even if I did, I think it’s just a claim to make the US look bad. They could have done it themselves and blamed the US for it.
I wonder how many people those officials killed. So if they did get killed, what goes around, comes around.
How many wounded?
… and we certainly wouldn’t want to hazard a guess.
Did any of the Cubans survive?
When the Commies fall in Havana, will the taxi drivers make a small fortune selling their classic cars to American collectors?
Perhaps they were there working on Climate Change.
On the other hand, perhaps they were at the forefront of Venezuelan recycling.
The day and mid-evening shifts are drinking themselves into oblivion.
>> That this is what cuba offers other commie countries instead of money/ weapons etc.
“No tenemos mucho dinero, but we can offer you a crappy security team!”
😂
I think it’s just a claim to make the US look bad. “
Maybe but it doesn’t. They should not have been there.
“Cuba says 32 Cuban officers were killed in US operation in Venezuela”
just a bonus kill; so what ya’ll gonna do about it?
Sounds like What happened when we invaded Grenada.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
