In compliance with the legal provisions in force in Cuba, expert and instructional actions are progressing, which will allow the full clarification of the events, as well as the involvement of each of its perpetrators.

The statements of the detainees themselves are added to a set of investigative procedures, reinforcing the evidence against them; at the same time, new elements are being obtained that establish the participation of other individuals residing in the United States.

From the outset, Cuban authorities have maintained timely communication with their United States counterparts. On 2 March 2026, United States authorities conveyed through diplomatic channels their willingness to cooperate fully in the investigation. Cooperation could include the exchange of information, evidence, and other joint actions.

Given the seriousness of the events and the threat that terrorism represents not only for Cuba, the national authorities, consistent with the historical stance on this issue, consider reciprocal cooperation in confronting this dangerous scourge for all humanity to be a duty.

The injured detainees continue to receive specialised medical assistance according to the state of health and severity of each individual. In the case of Roberto Álvarez Ávila, he died on 4 March as a result of the injuries sustained.

The population will be kept informed as the investigative process progresses.
