A joint investigation by several media outlets, including The Insider, Der Spiegel, and CBS’s “60 Minutes,” has uncovered evidence that suggests the Russian intelligence unit GRU 29155 may be behind the mysterious symptoms of Havana syndrome experienced by American diplomats in Cuba. The first reports of Havana syndrome emerged in 2016 when American diplomats in Cuba reported falling ill and hearing piercing sounds at night, sparking speculation about a possible attack using some kind of sonic weapon.
In 2018, the US closed its immigration office in Havana due to a change in policy towards Cuba and fears surrounding the syndrome. Despite intelligence suggesting that directed energy from an external source could have caused the symptoms, US agencies concluded in March 2023 that there is no credible evidence of a foreign adversary possessing a weapon that causes abnormal health incidents (AHIs). However, a year-long investigation has revealed possible earlier cases of the syndrome in Frankfurt, Germany, where an American government employee from the consulate was allegedly knocked unconscious by a strong energy beam. Additionally, reports have surfaced of similar issues among US officials in Austria and other locations.
Moscow has denied these allegations, calling them unfounded. The links provided at the end of the content appear to be related to driver’s license templates and may not be directly related to the discussion on Havana syndrome.
