HAVANA (AP) — Red, white and gold balls of light shimmered low on the horizon off Havana’s seafront Malecon boulevard Saturday night in a maritime fireworks display launched by Cuban exiles hoping to inspire protest.

The fireworks were clearly visible from the coast and lasted about an hour. People who saw it said they were mystified by its origin.
