In case the main stream media refused to report on this and you missed it. The Cuban Embassy in Washington D.C. was targeted in a terrorist attack on Sunday, September 24th. According to Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parilla, two Molotov cocktails were thrown at the building. Fortunately, no one was hurt and there was no major damage done to the embassy.

The Secret Service investigated the incident and has not made any arrests as of yet. This is the second violent attack against Cuba’s diplomatic mission since April 2020 when an individual shot multiple rounds at the embassy using an assault rifle.
The Department of Justice indicted Alexander Alazo for this attack and charged him with a violent attack on a foreign official or official premises using a deadly weapon. The embassy had been re-opened in 2015 after former President Barack Obama moved to normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba after they had been suspended for more than 50 years
The US Secret Service said that officials contacted them shortly after 8:00 p.m. last night and officers responded swiftly to begin their investigation into what happened. It was reported that no fire nor significant damage occurred at the building but samples of these Molotov cocktails have been given over to US authorities by Cuba’s Embassy so further investigations can take place
The United States on Monday condemned the latest attack on Cuba's embassy in Washington, in which a man allegedly threw two Molotov cocktails at the mission. Cuba's communist government described Sunday night's incident as a 'terrorist attack'

This terrorist attack is certainly alarming news especially considering it has not even been two months since another individual fired shots at Cuba’s Embassy which resulted in considerable material damage being done as well as someone being arrested for it – evidently showing that US authorities are taking these matters seriously despite how rare they may be too
