Cuba Denies US Claims of Military Threats and Drone Build Up Cuba rejects allegations from the United States Cuba has strongly denied claims that it is preparing for military action against the United States. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said the accusations are false and part of a political narrative aimed at justifying pressure on Havana. He stressed that Cuba does not seek conflict and remains focused on defending its sovereignty. Drone accusations raise regional tension Reports cited by US media outlet Axios suggest that Cuba may have obtained around 300 drones and could be considering potential targets near the US. These claims also mention possible discussions involving strikes near military and coastal areas, including the US base at Guantanamo Bay and regions in Florida. US officials referenced in the report also suggested possible foreign military involvement. Cuba dismissed these statements and accused Washington of spreading misinformation to build support for aggressive action. Fuel shortages deepen crisis inside Cuba Cuba is facing a severe fuel shortage that has disrupted daily life. The crisis has led to rolling power cuts across the country. Hospitals, water systems, transport services, and waste collection have all been affected. Authorities in Havana say the situation has worsened due to long standing restrictions on oil supply access linked to policies from the United States. These constraints have placed additional pressure on energy imports and economic stability. Diplomatic tensions continue between Havana and Washington Relations between Cuba and the United States remain strained. Discussions between both sides have taken place in recent months, but no long term agreement has been reached. US political pressure has increased, while Cuban officials continue to call for dialogue without threats or intervention. There are also references in the report to international involvement, including suggestions of foreign advisers in Havana. These claims have not been independently confirmed and remain part of ongoing political dispute. Public hardship and growing unrest The fuel shortage and power cuts have caused widespread disruption across Cuban society. Shortages of food and medicine have added to public frustration. In some areas, rare public protests have appeared as living conditions continue to deteriorate.

Harvey Weinstein mistrial declared in New York rape case Background of the case A New York court has declared a mistrial in the rape case involving Harvey Weinstein after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous decision. The trial focused on claims that Weinstein raped aspiring actress Jessica Mann in a hotel room more than a decade ago. This marks the third time a New York jury has reviewed this charge. Weinstein was once convicted in this case, but an appeals court later overturned that verdict. A previous retrial last year also ended without a verdict. Weinstein remains in jail due to separate convictions in other sexual assault cases. Jury deadlock leads to mistrial The recent trial lasted about one month. Jurors told the judge they were unable to agree on a final decision, which forced the court to end the proceedings without a verdict. The judge formally declared a mistrial after confirming the deadlock. Prosecution response and next steps Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said prosecutors are reviewing whether to bring the case again. He expressed disappointment with the outcome but said the legal process must be respected. Prosecutors thanked the jury for their service and acknowledged Jessica Mann for coming forward with her allegations. They also said any future decision will consider both the survivor and the ongoing legal matters involving Weinstein. The district attorney office confirmed it will continue pursuing sexual violence cases and focus on supporting survivors through the justice process. Broader context
