In September, the officer and his wife reported, according to one source familiar with the incident, what may have been at least one acoustic attack similar to those experienced by the diplomats in Havana.
The first Cuba attacks began in November 2016, and the last report of an attack was in August 2017. Victims of the attacks in Cuba describe hearing a loud, high-pitched sound often described like a hiss of cicadas or crickets in unusual places-often in their homes.
The State Department declined to describe in detail the incident in Tashkent.
"We aren't going to discuss every case individually," a spokesperson said.
Victims of the attacks in Cuba were diagnosed with hearing loss, brain injuries, cognitive issues and other conditions.
Comment: We guess those crickets must have been weaponized by the Russians: Mass hysteria, not sonic weapons: Cuba - U.S. diplomats retreat in panic because of 'crickets'
Comment: Yep, this is the level to which Americans have descended in their anti-Russian hysteria. Talk about reaching for the bottom of the barrel. What "may be" an acoustic attack (no evidence) in Uzbekistan "raises" concerns Russia "could have" been behind what "may have been" acoustic attacks in Cuba, which was actually mass hysteria triggered by crickets. Total nonsense.
