Bodies of 32 Cuban officers killed during US strike on Venezuela repatriated as US threat lingers

The bodies of 32 Cuban officers killed during a stunning U.S. attack on Venezuela have been repatriated to their homeland. Cuban soldiers wearing white gloves marched out of a plane on Thursday carrying urns with their remains as trumpets and drums played solemnly at Havana’s airport. Thousands of Cubans lined one of Havana’s most iconic streets to await the bodies of colonels, lieutenants, majors and captains as the island remained under threat by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Hours earlier, state television showed images of more than a dozen wounded people accompanied by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez arriving Wednesday night from Venezuela. Some were in wheelchairs.
