According to the official statement, the deceased “lost their lives in combat actions and after fierce resistance.”\n\nThe disclosed list includes high-ranking military and security personnel, including two colonels, a lieutenant colonel, four majors, captains, lieutenants, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, aged between 26 and 67 years old. The agents belonged to both the Ministry of the Interior and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba.\n\nCuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodr\u00edguez paid tribute to the deceased in a message posted on X: “Honor and glory to our combatants, who heroically fell facing the criminal aggression and state terrorism of the U.S. Government against Venezuela. They shed their blood fulfilling their duty as revolutionaries and internationalists<\/strong>“.\n\n\n

During that period, flags are flown at half-mast and most public events on the island were suspended.\n\nD\u00edaz-Canel explained that the deceased Cubans “were fulfilling missions on behalf of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior, at the request of homologous bodies<\/strong>” of Venezuela. He also detailed that they died “in direct combat against the attackers or as a result of the bombings of the facilities<\/strong>“.\n\n\n

However, until now, neither government had officially recognized the participation of Cuban agents in intelligence or security tasks, a topic that for years was considered an “open secret”.\n\nThe Venezuelan government has not disclosed the total number of casualties following the US military intervention, so it is unknown what proportion the 32 deceased Cubans represent. However, Venezuela’s Foreign Minister, Yv\u00e1n Gil, stated on Sunday that the foreign personnel “acted within the framework of cooperation between sovereign states and fulfilled tasks of protection and institutional defense.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
