Russian assassination unit linked to U.S. officials' "Havana syndrome"

A joint media investigation into "Havana syndrome (https://www.axios.com/2021/10/08/havana-syndrome-bill-biden-embassies)," a mysterious health condition that's affected U.S. diplomats and government officials, has found evidence that a Russian military assassination unit may be responsible.
Why it matters: "60 Minutes" noted (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-culprit-investigation-new-evidence-60-minutes-transcript/) that the findings from its five-year probe with The Insider and Der Spiegel that Russia's GRU Unit 29155 may be behind the neurological symptoms marked the first evidence linking a foreign adversary to the cases.
		U.S. intelligence agencies have said it's unlikely a foreign adversary (https://www.axios.com/2023/03/01/havana-syndrome-intelligence-community-cia) is responsible for the phenomenon.
The big picture: Symptoms of "Havana syndrome (https://www.axios.com/2022/01/20/cia-havana-syndrome-unlikely-foreign-campaign-report)," which U.S. officials refer to as "anomalous health incidents" (AHI), can include extreme headaches, dizziness, nausea and ear pain.
		The condition was dubbed "Havana syndrome (https://www.axios.com/2022/01/20/cia-havana-syndrome-unlikely-foreign-campaign-report)" because reports of American officials falling ill were first documented at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba's capital (https://www.axios.com/2020/12/06/us-diplomats-china-cuba-ill-microwave-energy)
 in late 2016.

Yes, but:  New evidence suggests "there were likely attacks two years earlier in Frankfurt, Germany, when a U.S. government employee stationed at the consulate there was knocked unconscious by something akin to a strong energy beam," per 
The Insider (https://theins.ru/en/politics/270425)
		
"The victim was later diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury, and was also able to identify a Geneva-based Unit 29155 operative," the Russia-focused news outlet added Sunday.[/quote]
