Several families associated with the US embassy in Colombia report symptoms linked with the affliction, US media reports.
Colombian President Ivan Duque says his government is aware of cases of so-called “Havana Syndrome” at the United States Embassy in Bogota, but is leaving the investigation to Washington.
At least five US families associated with the embassy in Colombia have come down with symptoms linked with the mysterious affliction, which include headaches, nausea and possible brain damage, the Wall Street Journal reported.
“Of course we have knowledge of this situation but I want to leave it to the US authorities, who are doing their own investigation, because it is about their own personnel,” Duque told reporters in New York on Tuesday during an official visit to the US visit.
