The Kremlin has dismissed a report that Russian military intelligence may be behind the mysterious 'Havana syndrome' ailment that has afflicted US diplomats and spies globally.
Russia has denied a media report linking its intelligence agency to the mysterious "Havana syndrome".The US government said it was unlikely a foreign adversary was responsible.
The year-long investigation in collaboration with US program 60 Minutes and Germany's Der Spiegel also reported that senior members of Unit 29155 received awards and promotions for work related to the development of "non-lethal acoustic weapons".
But US spokesperson Sabrina Singh said the official was not a part of defence secretary Lloyd Austin's delegation. "It has been the broad conclusion of the intelligence community since March 2023 that it is unlikely a foreign adversary is responsible for these anomalous health incidents," Mr Miller said.Hundreds of US personnel stationed overseas have reported the same symptoms. But as America explores the possibility of a sonic weapon, some experts insist it's all in their minds."It's something that the intelligence community has investigated extensively and continues to look at.
It said "there were likely attacks two years earlier in Frankfurt, Germany, when a US government employee stationed at the consulate there was knocked unconscious by something akin to a strong energy beam".
