Sophisticated devices that emit microradiations behind the health problems of American diplomats in China and Cuba

According to the scientist who led the investigations on the issue, some sophisticated devices that emit micro-radiation were, most likely, those responsible for the problems of American diplomats in Cuba and in China.

In September 2017, Washington recalled most of its staff at the embassy in Havana and issued a travel notice advising its citizens to stay away from the island. These actions were taken in response to allegations by the US State Department that at least 21 people from diplomatic and support personnel stationed in Cuba suffered from sudden and unexplained hearing loss and brain injuries. In April, the Canadian embassy evacuated all family members of its staff stationed in Havana due to similar health problems.

Less than a year later, in June 2018, the United States evacuated at least two other consulate members to the Chinese city of Guangzhou after experiencing "unusual acute auditory or sensory phenomena" and "piercing noises". The evacuations occurred two weeks after the US State Department revealed that a Guangzhou employee had been repatriated for medical tests due to abnormal sound and pressure sensations. "

The phenomena that occurred in China were compared with what had been reported by US diplomatic personnel in Cuba the previous year.

According to a report, US diplomats on the spot had been exposed to a "secret device", a likely cause of the health effects seen in diplomats. The Cuban government has denied having anything to do with the symptoms of American diplomats, and some believe the alleged "secret device" may have been deployed by an intelligence service in a third country - possibly Russia - without knowledge of the Cuban authorities.

Douglas H. Smith, head of the group of scientists commissioned by the US government to investigate the matter, says micro-radiation was almost certainly responsible for diplomatic disturbances. The Times asked for comments on Dr. Smith's statement to the US Department of State and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The State Department said its investigation has not yet definitively identified the cause of the disturbances, while the FBI has declined to discuss the matter.
