Caritas is distributing U.S. humanitarian aid in Bejucal and Alquízar near Havana, providing food and hygiene kits to vulnerable families. The aid, part of a $60 million program, has sparked controversy due to political tensions between Cuba and the U.S., exacerbated by an energy embargo imposed by Donald Trump in January.

Cuba has completed a new signals intelligence antenna array at its Bejucal facility near Havana, enhancing its ability to monitor and locate radio transmissions across the Western Hemisphere. The Circularly Disposed Antenna Array (CDAA) is the largest of its kind in Cuba and could observe U.S. military and naval activities. U.S. officials acknowledge China operates at least three intelligence facilities in Cuba, though direct Chinese involvement in Bejucal remains unproven.

China and Russia are expanding intelligence infrastructure in Cuba near key U.S. military bases, raising concerns about foreign surveillance. U.S. officials and analysts warn that facilities like Bejucal in Cuba could track U.S. military operations through electronic signatures and communication patterns.
