Havana, Jan. 5 -- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel announced two days of national mourning for 32 Cubans killed during the U.S. military attack on Venezuela.
The 32 victims, deployed at the request of Venezuelan authorities, were carrying out missions on behalf of Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces and Ministry of the Interior, said Diaz-Canel on Sunday.
They were killed while resisting the attack, with some falling in direct combat and others as a result of bombings, said Diaz-Canel, noting that their heroism reflects the unity of the Cuban people and Cuba's commitment to international solidarity.
As a result, he issued a presidential decree declaring two days of national mourning from Monday to Tuesday.
