Havana - For the second consecutive day, Cubans are participating in military exercises designed to face any external aggression.
Thousands of regular members of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of Interior joined volunteer militia for drills all over the country early Sunday morning, along with members of national, provincial and municipal governments and the Communist Party of Cuba.
The exercises incorporate the population in every territory, testing the capacity to move in case of an attack and the state and functioning of shelters.
Several training maneuvers took place by different regional branches of the Cuban Army as well.
Students and teachers took part in a military exercise called National Students Bastion, with massive participation by schools, and a special invitation to children, who showed their abilities as explorers, and met veteran soldiers.
These military exercises aim to prevent invasion or occupation by the organized, practiced, and permanent resistance of the population |
