A US aircraft carrier has arrived in the Caribbean amid escalating tensions with Cuba. 

The US military announced the arrival of the Nimitz Aircraft Carrier Strike Group, which includes the aircraft carrier, its carrier air wing and at least one guided-missile destroyer.

"The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), Aircraft Carrier Wing 17 (CVW-17), USS Gridley (DDG 101), and USNS Patuxent (T-AO 201) are the embodiment of readiness and presence, unmatched reach and lethality, and strategic advantage. USS Nimitz has proven its warfighting capabilities across the globe, ensuring stability and defending democracy from the Taiwan Strait to the Arabian Gulf," US Southern Command said in a post on "X".

This development comes on the same day that the Trump administration announced the indictment of former Cuban President Raul Castro.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Monday that Cuba has the absolute and legitimate right to defend itself against a military attack and that such an attack would cause a massacre with incalculable consequences. /CNA
