On Monday, the Cuban embassy in Paris was attacked by gasoline bombs and the incident was confirmed by the foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez through his twitter handle. The minister also blamed the United States for its alleged attempts at discrediting Cuban efforts for peace.

“I hold the U.S. Government responsible for its continuous campaigns against our country that encourage these behaviors and for calls for violence, with impunity, from its territory,” he said.

The foreign ministry’s department International Press Center also confirmed the incident saying that the attack had occurred late at night. It stressed that there were three Molotov cocktails that were thrown at the embassy and that is what led to fire in a certain area. French firefighters and police quickly came to rescue at the scene and anything major was avoided.
