US military jets and drones tracked near Cuba as tensions rise

The US Department of Defense confirmed that the aircraft were conducting routine reconnaissance missions in international airspace. They emphasized that the operations were in compliance with all international laws and norms.
On the other hand, Cuban authorities have condemned the presence of US military aircraft near their borders, labeling it as a provocation and a violation of their sovereignty.

The United States has not provided specific details regarding the motives behind the flights, maintaining that they were part of routine operations to ensure regional security and stability.
As tensions continue to simmer between the US and Cuba, the situation remains delicate, with both sides closely monitoring each other’s movements in the region.
