Cuba Fires Navy Aides After Violent Uprising
Cuban authorities moved swiftly to quell a navy revolt, dismissing the Southern Royal District commander Col. Robero Comesanas and aide Cmdr. Sepo Barreto. 159 personnel faced inquiry as 34 service members were killed and many detained. Col. Arsenio Arazola replaced Comesanas, while Matanzas remained tense and officials reported casualties between 200 and 250 in the wider upheaval.
