Gunfire was heard in the streets of Havana today, as police officers chased a car that apparently had a broken tail light from the country-side into the dock area, where the 2 suspects ditched the car and ran into a seemingly abandoned wharf building. 3 officers pursued and were immediately killed by hostile fire upon entering the building, which turned out to be a base of operations for as many as 20 drug dealers and possible terrorists. 2 more officers were killed when a rocket-propelled grenade was fired from the building at the patrol car they were behind. More officers soon arrived on the scene and exchanged fire with the criminals. After 2 hours of fighting, when night came, a reported 8 Ithraxian Tactical Anti-Terrorist Special Operations (ITATSO) operatives raided the building. The attack lasted less than 5 minutes before all of the threats were taken down. 1 operative was killed in the attack when a hispanic male ambushed him with a high caliber assault weapon from a balcony above. The names of the oficers that were killed are not being given at this time.
"There were enough drugs and weapons at the site to know the unknown men had been recieving illicit goods for at least 3 months," stated Hunter Johnson, the Secretary of Law and Order. The police do not currently know how the materials were transported without being caught. Updates will come regularly. If you know anything about how the materials were transported, or you know of any suspicious happenings in your area that might relate to this, you may be eligible for a reward if your information is good.

After the deaths of 6 officers in a drug raid yesterday, many people were mourning. But more mourning came this afternoon as a truck with as much as 10,000 pounds of C-4 explosives rammed into the police station that the officers that had died in the drug raid were assigned to. A ceromony for them was being held and an audience of almost 1,000 Binthorians were crowded in and around the building. The roads were shut down, but the truck plowed throgh checkpoints and barriers straight into the crowd. It then detonated. The holocaust was huge and the explosion could be heard around Havana. Reports have now come in and there is an unconfirmed number of casualties:
200 Dead
50 Missing
500 Injured
We will give updates as they come in.
