Cuba has reached a grim milestone - with the government announcing the island nation's oil reserves have officially run dry. The country has been facing a growing humanitarian crisis since the US captured former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro - a key ally - in early January and cut off a vital source of oil. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel says the country could accept humanitarian aid from Washington - while again making the case for the US to lift its trade embargo on the island. Meanwhile - in comments overnight - Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez accused the US of building a "fraudulent case" for military intervention, following US media reports that Cuba has acquired attack drones capable of targeting Florida.
