US diplomats hospitalized in Paris and Geneva with Havana syndrome

Some employees of the US embassy in Paris and Geneva were hospitalized with symptoms similar to "Havana syndrome". The Wall Street Journal wrote about it. The publication claims that in Switzerland a mysterious illness manifested itself in three diplomats, one of them even had to be sent home.

"Havana Syndrome" in the US has for some time been referred to as neurological disorders, including dizziness, nausea, migraine, and hearing loss. Allegedly, they were first observed in November 2016 in Havana among some employees of the US and Canadian embassies and their families. By the way, the State Department did not confirm the information from the WSJ "for reasons of confidentiality." They only stated that "investigation of all episodes is underway."

Meanwhile, Washington has not been able to establish what the "Havana syndrome" is. In Washington, he is associated with some "acoustic attacks" and "sonic weapons", but there is no evidence of this. In the American media, there were even accusations against Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry called them "complete absurdity and strange insinuations."
