Cuba's coastguard shot dead four people and injured six others travelling in a US-registered speedboat in an exchange of fire off the Cuban coast on Wednesday, the interior ministry in Havana said. As a coastguard vessel approached to identify the boat "shots were fired from the boat," injuring the commander of the Cuban vessel, the ministry added.
