Cuba periodically conducts exercises to prepare the population for a possible US military operation. The USA announced the permanent representative of the Caribbean country to the UN, Ernesto Sobron Guzman.
The diplomat explained that the authorities in Cuba view this threat very seriously and that for this reason they dedicate every Friday to defense in order to prepare the entire population to defend the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the country.
He also emphasized that the island must be prepared for any scenario, including a possible military intervention.
