Raul Castro made his first public appearance since being indicted by the U.S. for ordering the 1996 shootdown of two civilian planes near Miami, showing up at his 95th birthday celebration in Havana with top officials and military leaders. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel praised Castro’s legacy while warning the U.S. against invasion, framing the event as a defiant display of national unity.

The government used the occasion to project strength and solidarity against mounting American pressure.
