Cuban president says soldiers fell defending `sovereignty of a sister nation' amid escalating tensions with Washington.
Cuba has paid tribute to 32 of its soldiers who were killed in a United States attack on Venezuela earlier this month that led to the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro.
The remains of the soldiers, who were members of Cuba's armed forces and intelligence agencies, arrived early on Thursday at Havana's international airport, in coffins draped in the Cuban flag.
President Miguel Diaz-Canel and Raul Castro, the 94-year-old retired former Cuban leader, were present in full military uniform to receive the remains.
Diaz-Canel hailed the soldiers earlier this week, saying they "heroically fell in defence of the sovereignty of a sister nation".
At Thursday's event, Interior Minister General Lazaro Alberto Alvarez also expressed the country's gratitude for the soldiers he said had "fought to the last bullet" during the US military's unprovoked attack on the Venezuelan capital, Caracas.
"We do not receive them with resignation; we do so with profound pride," said Alvarez, adding that the US "will never be able to buy the dignity of the Cuban people".

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, says she presented her Nobel peace medal to Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House.
It comes after Trump sidelined her as US forces captured and detained Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, saying she didn't have the support or respect within the country to take power.
