Russian intelligence operatives using energy weapons may have been behind Havana Syndrome, according to a new investigation into the mysterious and debilitating condition that struck U.S. personnel in Cuba.
“Unexplained anomalous health incidents, also known as Havana Syndrome, may have their origin in the use of directed energy weapons” used by Russia’s foreign military intelligence agency, the GRU, according to a joint investigation published by independent Russian outlet, The Insider, CBS‘ 60 Minutes and German news website, Der Spiegel.
The new report pinpointed one unit, referred to as the 29155, as responsible.
Unusual symptoms were first reported by U.S. officials at the embassy in Havana in 2016, and could last for months. Sufferers reported a range of symptoms, including memory loss, problems with hearing, and what appeared to be evidence of brain injury.
Speculation has long focused on some form of energy or acoustic weapon as possibly responsible for the symptoms displayed by U.S. officials in Cuba and elsewhere. Earlier this month, a study published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offered no further insight into the causes of the condition.
This is a breaking story and will be updated shortly.
