US federal prosecutors overnight announced charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro in the 1996 downing of civilian planes flown by Miami-based exiles as the Trump administration escalated pressure on the island's socialist government.

Trump started stoking interest in February, directing federal agencies to release their records related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs. Since then, he has built suspense with tantalising updates, teasing an imminent release of documents never before shared by the US government.
