New Investigation Links Havana Syndrome to Russian Intelligence Operations

A joint investigation implicates Russia's GRU in deploying directed energy weapons against U.S. personnel, challenging previous U.S. intelligence assessments.

• A recent report by The Insider, CBS' 60 Minutes, and Der Spiegel alleges that Russia's GRU is behind the mysterious Havana Syndrome, affecting over 1,000 U.S. personnel.
• The investigation suggests that GRU's Unit 29155 used directed energy weapons, previously linked to the 2018 Salisbury poisonings.
• U.S. intelligence previously concluded it was 'very unlikely' a foreign adversary was behind the syndrome, a stance now questioned by new evidence.
• Victims include an FBI agent who experienced severe symptoms after interrogating a suspected Russian spy, linked to the same Russian intelligence unit.
• The White House and State Department have pledged to review new information, amid criticism over the handling of the issue.
