As the American daily newspaper wrote, the Balkans incident had not been previously reported. However, as told by the official, this was just the latest instance in a constant stream of attacks with a substance suspected to be some sort of a directed energy source.

- In the past 60 to 90 days, there have been a number of other reported cases on U.S. soil and globally - said Dr. James Giordano, a neurology professor at Georgetown University, who is also an advisor to the U.S. Government on the issue.

Around 200 U.S. officials and their family members have fallen ill with "Havana Syndrome", a mysterious ailment that includes various symptomes such as migraines, nausea, memory lapses and dizziness, Reuters wrote.

The officials stationed in the U.S. embassy in Cuba reported the first case of this illness in 2016.  In the middle of July more than 20 U.S. officials based in Vienna reported symptoms similar to "Havana Syndrome" since President Joe Biden took office in January.

A report published by the U.S. Government last year stated that "directed microwave radiation" would be the most reliable explanation for the mysterious symptomes affecting diplomats based in the U.S. embassies in Havana and elsewhere, RTS reported.
