Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla denounced on Twitter a terrorist attack perpetrated against the Cuban embassy in Paris on Monday and blamed the U.S. government for encouraging such violent behavior.

The Cuban Ministry of Public Health reported Monday that for the second consecutive day, the country detected more than 8,000 cases of Covid-19, which shows a high rate of transmission in the Caribbean nation.

More than one million sanitary masks, food, and personal protection equipment arrived Sunday in Cuba as part of the humanitarian aid sent by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
