HAVANA, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Saturday condemned what he described as the "criminal attack" by the United States against Venezuela, demanding an urgent response from the international community.

In a social media post, the president said that Latin America was being brutally assaulted, and called it "state terrorism against the brave people of Venezuela and against Our America."

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez also condemned the ongoing U.S. military aggression against Venezuela on Saturday.

In a message posted on social media, the diplomat said the bombings and military actions against Caracas and other localities in the country are cowardly acts against a nation that has not attacked the United States or any other country.
