Attribution splits 4 events to US / SOUTHCOM and 9 to Cuba; the remainder could not be assigned with confidence. Activity attributed to Cuba accounts for roughly 69% of the day's attributable events. Attribution reflects who is reported to have acted and is not a finding of responsibility.

Concentration is high: the leading location alone accounts for 54% of the day's events, which usually indicates a sustained exchange in one area rather than dispersed activity.
