U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the United States is working to gain information after the Cuban communist regime said it killed four people in a U.S.-registered speedboat that it said entered its waters.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Cuban Interior Ministry said that four were killed and six were injured on a Florida-registered boat that allegedly entered its territory.
