Cuban heroes killed in Venezuela to return January 15

Via the Revolutionary Government of Cuba

This Thursday, January 15, 2026, the mortal remains of the 32 combatants who fell heroically during the criminal attack perpetrated by the government of the United States against the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will arrive in the Homeland.

In a military ceremony at the José Martí International Airport in Havana, they will receive the first posthumous tribute. They will then be transferred along Rancho Boyeros Avenue to the headquarters of the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces. During this journey, crowds representing the people will gather on both sides of the avenue to pay tribute to the fallen.

Starting at 10:00 a.m. on January 15, people will be able to visit the headquarters of the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, where the mortal remains of our combatants will be on display.

On Friday, January 16, at 7:30 a.m., Havanans will gather at the José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune to begin the March of the Combatant People, reaffirming their commitment to the Homeland.

At 09.00 hours on Friday, tribute ceremonies will be held in all the provincial capitals. At 4:00 p.m. they will be buried in the Cemeteries of the Fallen for Defense in their respective towns. All municipalities in the country will carry out acts of posthumous tribute.

Honor and glory to our heroes!
