Pentagon reveals senior official reported symptoms of ‘Havana Syndrome’

Al Jazeera  

The announcement comes after a news report raises questions about Russian involvement in ‘anomalous health incidents’. A spokesperson for the Pentagon has confirmed that a senior official from the United States had reported symptoms corresponding to so-called Havana Syndrome after attending last year’s NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. “I can confirm that a senior DOD official experienced symptoms similar to those reported in anomalous health incidents,” Singh said. It highlighted evidence suggesting that members of a Russian military unit known by the number 29155 were present several times when US officials reported symptoms consistent with Havana Syndrome. “It was like a high-pitched, metallic drilling noise, and it knocked me forward — like a 45-degree angle.” In 2021, the US Congress passed the Helping American Victims Afflicted by Neurological Attacks Act to provide compensation for government employees suffering from symptoms related to the mysterious health incidents.
