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 was 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 must take responsibility for the safety of foreign diplomatic staff on Cuban territory./.
