THE Cuban embassy in Paris was attacked with petrol bombs on Monday night.
Three Molotov cocktails were thrown in the midnight attack, with two hitting the embassy and causing a blaze.
Cuban diplomats put out the fire as French firefighters and police arrived at the scene, Cuba’s Foreign Ministry reported.
“I hold the US government responsible for its continuous campaigns against our country that encourage these behaviours and for calls for violence, with impunity, from its territory,” Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Rodriguez said.
In the past three weeks, Cuban embassies in many cities around the world have been the site of demonstrations both against and for Cuba’s government in reaction to protests that occurred across the island on July 11 and 12.
Cuba has accused the US government of fomenting a social media campaign aimed at destabilising the Caribbean nation, which is going through a severe economic crisis caused by Washington’s 60-year trade embargo and worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic.
