Cuban Coast Guard Kills Two Drug Traffickers in High-Speed Pursuit

In a tense confrontation on July 12, 2025, two suspected drug traffickers were killed by the Cuban Coast Guard following a high-speed chase involving a Bahamian-registered speedboat. The vessel, which was reportedly carrying 500 kilograms of marijuana and five individuals believed to be Bahamian nationals, attempted to evade capture by ramming into a Coast Guard ship. The Cuban authorities responded with gunfire, claiming self-defense, leading to the fatalities of the two suspects. As the boat sped towards Haitian waters, regional authorities pursued it, resulting in the apprehension of three suspects on land by Haitian police. Meanwhile, two Jamaican nationals reportedly jumped overboard during the chase and are presumed drowned, with their bodies yet to be recovered. The incident is currently under investigation by law enforcement and anti-narcotics agencies across the region.
