据《俄罗斯卫星通讯社》4月24日报道

美国国防部向国会议员确认，美驻古巴使馆人员“哈瓦那综合症”和驻叙利亚边境部队神秘的“类感冒病症”已经查明，是遭受了“定向能攻击”，俄罗斯“很可能”是幕后元凶。2017年，美国驻古巴大使馆工作人员突然染上了一种神秘的疾病，没有身体外伤，但却出现脑震荡现象，有的很快恢复，有的持续几个月时间，当时称这种现象为“哈瓦那综合症”，美国国务院、中央情报局和国防部立即开始分别组织调查神秘的“定向能攻击”。2020年秋季，美国驻叙利亚边境部队、工作人员和供应商也出现了“类感冒病症”现象。国防部并未给出详细证据，也未阐明为什么将这种事件归因于俄罗斯神秘的实验武器。

Pentagon Believes Russia Behind Mysterious Directed Energy ‘Attacks’ on Troops in Syria: Report

The Department of Defense reportedly stopped short of linking the alleged attacks with a mysterious incident at the American embassy in Havana, Cuba, which was subsequently evacuated after numerous diplomatic workers complained of suffering from an unidentified ailment.

The Pentagon has briefed at least two groups of US lawmakers on its progress of probing alleged “directed-energy attacks” against its personnel around the world, and claimed that Russia is the “likely” culprit, Politico reported, citing anonymous sources. Politico sources did not specify which evidence led the Pentagon to their conclusions.

It is also unclear how many of these types of incidents the Department of Defense’s probe unveiled in the course of the year-long investigation, besides the one mentioned in Politico’s report. According to media sources, the Pentagon believes that several of its soldiers, workers or contractors stationed inside of the Syrian borders suffered “flu-like symptoms” as  a result of a directed-energy attack in the fall of 2020.

The report did not clarify why the Department of Defense attributed these flu-like cases to an alleged experimental Russian weapon and not to a flu or the coronavirus amid the currently raging pandemic.

According to Politico, the Pentagon stopped short of linking Russia andthe investigated incidents to the so-called “Havana syndrome” despite apparent similarities. Department of Defense officials reportedly admitted it would be difficult to attribute the attacks to Russia, especially since the symptoms can easily be explained by other ailments, particularly as the Pentagon has so far failed to locate a device purportedly used in the alleged “attacks”.

US Probes Origin of Mysterious “Havana Syndrome”

The probes into the mysterious “directed-energy attacks” were launched separately by the Department of State, the CIA and the Pentagon, afte personnel at the US embassy in Cuba began to report that they were suffering from mysterious maladies in 2017. Doctors described their condition as a persisting concussion experienced in the absence of physical trauma and said that they found signs of damage to “widespread brain networks” of the patients. While some diplomatic workers quickly recovered from the ailment, others suffered for months. 

The US administration of Donald Trump alleged that their condition was caused by the unidentified actions of Cuban authorities and reduced the size of the diplomatic mission to a bare minimum. Havana offered its help in investigating the incident, while denying its involvement. Washington turned down the offer. To this date, no US department or agency investigating the “Havana attacks” have come up with a substantiated explanation as to what happened to the US diplomats.
