“Cuba held a nationwide civilian military exercise Friday involving weapons training and combat drills, part of a broader push to expand militarisation to youth under its 'war of the entire people' doctrine”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided web search results discuss general concepts like 'Militia' and 'Children in the military' or US militarism, but none of the evidence directly corroborates the specific claim that 'Cuba held a nationwide civilian military exercise Friday involving weapons training and combat drills, part of a broader push to expand militarisation to youth under its 'war of the entire people' doctrine.' The evidence is too general to confirm the specific event described.

“The drills came amid a deepening humanitarian crisis for the island as it faces chronic fuel shortages due to a US oil blockade”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results confirm that Cuba faces fuel shortages and that these shortages are linked to a US oil blockade. One source explicitly mentions the blockade's role in exacerbating the fuel crisis, and another cites an expert confirming the historical context of US blockades causing fuel crises in Cuba.
