US Warns of Growing Russian, Chinese Spy Presence in Cuba

(MENAFN) US officials have expressed growing concern over what they describe as expanded intelligence operations by Russia and China in Cuba, heightening Washington’s worries about surveillance activity operating close to US territory, according to reports.

Intelligence assessments cited by a newspaper indicate that Beijing and Moscow have strengthened electronic monitoring infrastructure on the island and increased the deployment of intelligence personnel since 2023.

The assessments suggest these facilities are strategically positioned to track US military movements in Florida, including communications connected to US Central Command in Tampa and US Southern Command near Miami, according to reports.

The analysis also identified a total of 18 known signals-intelligence sites operating across Cuba.

US officials stated that China is believed to run three of these facilities, while Russia operates two, with some sites reportedly shared with Cuban authorities. The remaining installations are understood to be controlled by Cuba itself.
