Cuba said on March 5 that a fifth man has died following an incident on Feb. 25 involving a Florida-registered speedboat in Cuban waters.
Cuban soldiers confronted a speedboat carrying 10 people as the vessel approached the island and opened fire on the troops, who fired back, killing four and wounding six, according to Cuban authorities.
