The United States Vice President, JD Vance, expressed on Wednesday that the U.S. government is closely observing a developing situation in Cuba, although specific details remain scarce.

"We're definitely keeping an eye on the situation and hope it’s not as severe as we fear. Unfortunately, I can't provide more information because we simply don't have it," Vance mentioned when questioned about the incident.

Vance noted that he had been briefed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but further information was not yet available. "He informed me about 15 minutes ago, but details are lacking right now, so I will be asking the White House to update us as more information comes in," he pointed out.

The Vice President's comments followed inquiries about an incident in Cuba on Wednesday, where four individuals were killed in an armed confrontation with border guard troops.

Vance reiterated that he had no further details at the time of his response and deferred to future communications from the White House as more information becomes available.
