Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez on Thursday condemned the firing at Cuban Embassy in the United States.

"Cuba waits for investigation into shooting at our Embassy in the United States. We condemn this aggression. States must protect diplomatic missions accredited to their country," he said in a tweet.

According to a Sputnik report, earlier in the day, a man opened fire on the Cuban Embassy in Washington with an assault rifle.
