A man threw two Molotov cocktails at Cuba's embassy in Washington on Sunday, according to the country's foreign minister.

Minister Bruno Rodriguez said in a post on X that no embassy staff was harmed in what he described as a terrorist attack.

"The anti-Cuban groups resort to terrorism when feeling they enjoy impunity, something that Cuba has repeatedly warned the US authorities about," Rodriguez said after the attack.

The Sunday night attack took place hours after Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel returned to Havana after attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York and other activities with Cubans in the US.

This was the second attack against the Cuban mission in Washington in recent years. A man opened fire on the embassy in April 2020 but no one was injured.

That shooting left bullet holes in exterior walls and columns, broke a street lamp and damaged several panes of glass and moldings on the front of the building.

US authorities arrested Alexander Alazo, then 42, for the attack.

Alazo was indicted in July 2020 and charged with multiple offenses, including "violent attack on a foreign official or official premises using a deadly weapon," according to the US Justice Department
