Anti Castro insurgents clash near Corralillo Cuba
A band of about 150 armed anti Castro insurgents was reported fighting Cuban troops after a new landing near Corralillo on the north coast 120 miles east of Havana. The Armed Forces Ministry denied the report as a counterrevolutionary rumor, while opponents of Fidel Castro claimed it was true. Reports say insurgents and militiamen battled, with two militiamen killed near Cumanyagua as they moved toward the Escambray Mountains.
