HAVANA, July 27 (DW) - Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said early Tuesday that the country's embassy in Paris was attacked with Molotov cocktails.
Several Cuban embassies across the world have witnessed protests in reaction to unprecedented demonstrations that erupted across the island earlier this month.
"I hold the US government responsible for its continuous campaigns against our country that encourage these behaviors and for calls for violence, with impunity, from its territory,'' Rodriguez said on Twitter.
The Foreign Ministry's International Press Center later said the attack occurred around midnight when three Molotov cocktails were thrown at the embassy, including two that started a fire.
According to the French AFP news agency, Paris firefighters said they were alerted to the attack shortly after midnight, adding that the two incendiary devices, which caused minor damage, were extinguished before their arrival.
