At least one Molotov cocktail was thrown at the Cuban Embassy in Washington, but there was no significant damage and no one was injured. U.S. law enforcement officials were investigating.<\/p>\n
Secret Service officers were called around 8 p.m. Sunday to respond to the attack on a busy street in the Adams-Morgan section of the city. Embassy officials reported that someone had thrown a \u201cpossible incendiary device\u201d at the building, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said on Monday.<\/p>\n
There was no fire or significant damage to the building, he said. No arrests had been made.<\/p>\n
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said on the X social media site that the Cuban Embassy \u201cwas the target of a terrorist attack by an individual who threw 2 Molotov cocktails,\u201d a type of crude grenade made from a bottle filled with flammable liquid and a wick that\u2019s lit just before it\u2019s thrown. He said no one was injured. A spokesman for the Cuban Embassy did not immediately respond to a request for additional information on Monday.<\/p>\n
In 2020, a Cuban man who sought asylum in the U.S. opened fire<\/a><\/span> with an AK-47 at the Cuban Embassy, spraying the front of the building with nearly three dozen rounds. Authorities said the man told them he opened fire because he wanted to \u201cget them before they could get him.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The shooting left bullet holes in the glass around the embassy\u2019s door, and bullets pierced the bronze statue of Jose Marti, the Cuban writer and national hero, as well as the columns and facade of the building.<\/p>\n
