From Cuban President Canel:
Information from the Revolutionary Government on combatants who fell in the line of duty in Venezuela.

As a result of the criminal attack perpetrated by the United States government against the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the early hours of January 3, 2026, 32 Cubans lost their lives in combat while carrying out missions on behalf of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior, at the request of counterpart agencies in the South American country.

Faithful to their responsibilities for security and defense, our compatriots fulfilled their duty with dignity and heroism and fell, after fierce resistance, in direct combat against the attackers or as a result of the bombing of the facilities.

Once their identities had been verified, the families of our fallen comrades were informed and received the heartfelt condolences and support of Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution, and Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, first secretary of the Party Central Committee and president of the Republic, as well as the heads of both ministries.

Victims of a new criminal act of aggression and state terrorism, the combatants knew how to raise high, with their heroic actions, the feelings of solidarity of millions of compatriots. The Revolutionary Government will organize the appropriate actions to pay them the tribute they deserve.
