Read our privacy policy About two dozen Americans at the United States embassy in Vienna have fallen ill with the mysterious “Havana syndrome,” US and Austrian officials say. “In coordination with our partners across the US Government, we are vigorously investigating reports of possible unexplained health incidents among the US Embassy Vienna community or wherever they are reported,” a State Department spokesperson said in a statement. “We take these reports very seriously and, according to our role as the host state, are working with the US authorities on a joint solution,” the country’s Federal Ministry of European and International Affairs said. “The security of diplomats dispatched to Austria and their families is of utmost priority for us.” The cause of the syndrome is still officially unknown, but US officials suspect it’s not a naturally occurring illness.
