House Intelligence Committee Holding Evidence on Alleged Russian Microwave Attacks, Witness Says
A U.S. government official claims Congress has resisted briefing on evidence of pulsed microwave attacks allegedly by Russia linked to Havana Syndrome.
What happened
An author (identified as a U.S. government official) states that two years ago they requested to brief Congress and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on evidence the U.S. government possesses regarding pulsed microwave attacks allegedly perpetrated by Russia. These attacks are associated with what is known as Havana Syndrome and have allegedly injured hundreds of U.S. government personnel, including the author, the author's wife, and two others.
Context
Havana Syndrome has been an ongoing concern regarding unexplained injuries to U.S. government personnel. The allegation that Congress possesses but has not acted on evidence of a foreign source for these attacks raises questions about what information U.S. leadership holds, why it may not be widely disclosed, and the consequences for affected personnel seeking answers and accountability.
What's disputed
The source does not indicate whether Congress granted or denied the briefing request, nor does it confirm the validity of the claimed evidence or definitively establish Russia's responsibility for any attacks.
