Two Molotov cocktails hit the Cuban embassy, which caused a fire late on Monday, but no one was injured during the incident.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez accused the U.S. government of initiating campaigns of “violence” on Monday after the country’s foreign embassy in Paris was attacked by gasoline bombs. Rodriguez announced in a tweet on Monday night that the embassy was attacked with Molotov cocktails and put the blame on Washington. “We denounce a terrorist attack with Molotov cocktails against our Embassy in Paris @EmbaCubaFrancia. I hold the US Government responsible for its continuous campaigns against our country that encourage these behaviors and for calls for violence, with impunity, from its territory,” he wrote. According to the Cuban Foreign Ministry’s International Press Center, the attack on the Paris embassy occurred around midnight when three Molotov cocktails were thrown at the building. Two of the Molotov cocktails hit the embassy and caused a fire, but Cuban diplomats were able to extinguish the flames before French firefighters and police arrived at the scene, the Associated Press reported.
