U.S. Says Molotov Cocktails Assault on Cuban Embassy Is 'Unacceptable'

Reinaldo Escobar / Sep 27 2023, 11:59 AM EST

The recent launching of Molotov cocktails against the Cuban embassy in the United States was described by US National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan as an unacceptable attack.

"The United States strongly condemns Sunday's reported attack on the Cuban embassy in Washington, DC. Attacks against diplomatic facilities are unacceptable. We are in contact with Cuban embassy officials and law enforcement authorities to ensure an appropriate and timely investigation as well as to offer our support for future protective efforts".

In turn, the US State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, in his daily press briefing in his headquarters of the Foggy Bottom, reiterated what Sullivan had said in response to a question from an accredited media outlet.
