Raúl Castro absent as Cuba celebrates anniversary of key revolutionary attack

Cuba commemorated the 1953 revolutionary attack on Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks, with Raúl Castro absent for the first time in 30 years. President Miguel Díaz-Canel presided over the event and read a message from Castro. The U.S. State Department accused Cuba of espionage, which Cuba rejected, and the country faces economic challenges due to U.S. sanctions.
