Three sources from different government agencies tell 60 Minutes that undercover agents purchased a miniaturized microwave weapon from a complex Russian criminal network. It’s classified. We didn’t see it. But it has been described to us.

The weapon is designed to be concealed and small enough to be carried by a person. The vital components were made in Russia, sources say.

U.S. officials and their families who have experienced Havana Syndrome say they experienced dizziness, fatigue, memory problems, and impaired vision. In some cases, it led to health conditions like traumatic brain injury, vision, hearing, and memory loss.
Our confidential sources tell us the classified weapon has been tested in a U.S. military lab for more than a year. Tests on rats and sheep show injuries consistent with those seen in humans.
