"Cuban authorities have so far not found any evidence that can confirm the cause or origin of the health effects on US diplomats and their relatives," Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez ParrillaSeptember 22speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, USA.

"The investigation is still ongoing and to be able to draw conclusions, we need the cooperation of the US government. It would be a pity if this issue was politicized,"AFPquote himParrilla. Cuba's foreign minister said Havana is conducting its own investigation and is reviewing the evidence presented by the US.

On September 17, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the administration is considering closing the embassy in Havana, after at least 21 Americans were confirmed to have suffered health effects such as tinnitus and hearing loss, suspected to be caused by mysterious sonic attacks.

Mr. Tillerson called the incident an "attack on health" but Washington did not officially accuse Cuba of being behind the attack, despite repeatedly warning Havana that it was responsible for the safety of foreign diplomats on Cuban territory./.
