Reports say the US has cut its embassy staff after nearly two dozen personnel had health problems with reports suggesting sonic attacks were to blame, but nothing has been proven.

The US expelled 15 Cuban diplomats, saying that Havana had failed to protect its employees, but Cuba said the move was “unjustified”.

The US government also suspended visa processing in Cuba indefinitely.

However, Washington has not blamed Havana for the alleged attacks, and the Cuban government has previously denied targeting embassy staff claiming the alleged attack did not originate from it.
