The US officials claimed that unexplained attacks they assumed were caused by some kind of 'directed energy' on its spies and officials had become more frequent and that they were undermining morale in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the State Department, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Tuesday.

It cited unnamed American officials as saying that the CIA had recently evacuated an intelligence officer from Serbia who suffered severe problems identical to the neurological attack, better known as ‘Havana Syndrome.’

The case has not been reported so far.

Unexplained health problems, known as ‘Havana Syndrome,’ were first experienced by State Department and CIA officials in Cuba in late 2016. Symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, headache, anxiety, cognitive dysfunction and memory loss.

Since then, attacks have been reported in China, Colombia, Austria, Germany, Vietnam, India, and Serbia.

According to the WSJ, the incident in Serbia was just one in a series of attacks that US officials said are gaining in frequency. Before, they happened in India and Vietnam.

„The US diplomats and spies are increasingly exposed to attacks by ‘unknown governments’ with the help of technology that scientists assume uses’ some ‘directed energy.’ The reports regarding the attack are valid, and health institutions verified the results,“ WSJ sources said.

According to them, the attacks can result in dizziness, memory loss and other health problems. They have caused frustration among the US government over the loss of morale of officials on the ground, especially with the State Department and the CIA. Their employees were affected mainly by the attacks. Some of the career diplomats and spies reluctantly agree to take over their duties outside the US.
