   The feds are investigating a pair of mysterious incidents in   
   Washington, DC — including one near the White House — that are   
   similar to attacks that sickened Americans in Cuba, it was   
   revealed Thursday.   
      
   The incidents caused government officials to fall ill with   
   symptoms of the so-called “Havana syndrome,” which include   
   unexplained neurological problems, CNN reported.   
      
   The more recent of the suspected attacks occurred in November,   
   when a National Security Council official became sick near the   
   Ellipse, the oval lawn south of the White House, US government   
   sources told the outlet.   
      
   The other episode involved a White House official becoming ill   
   while walking her dog in a Virginia suburb just outside   
   Washington in 2019, GQ reported last year.   
      
   The Pentagon and other agencies have launched investigations   
   into the possible “Havana syndrome” attacks, though they haven’t   
   reached any conclusions on the matter, CNN reported.   
      
   Defense officials briefed US lawmakers last week on the   
   investigations and said it was possible Russia was responsible,   
   while another former US official said China could be behind the   
   suspected attacks, CNN reported.   
      
   “Havana syndrome” first popped up in 2016 when diplomatic and   
   intelligence personnel in Cuba began reporting concerning   
   symptoms that appeared to start out of nowhere.   
      
   Other personnel in China and Russia have since also reported   
   similar, unexplained issues, CNN reported.   
      
   Some symptoms associated with “Havana syndrome” include hearing   
   strange noises followed by dizziness, nausea, severe headaches   
   and memory loss.   
      
   Though little is known about the strange episodes, a State   
   Department-sponsored study suggested that they’re likely the   
   product of microwave energy attacks, CNN reported.   
      
   The Biden administration acknowledged that the US is looking   
   into the health episodes.   
      
   “The health and well-being of American public servants is a   
   paramount priority for the Biden administration. We take all   
   reports of health incidents by our personnel extremely   
   seriously. The White House is working closely with departments   
   and agencies to address unexplained health incidents and ensure   
   the safety and security of Americans serving around the world,”   
   a White House spokesperson told The Hill.   
      
   “Given that we are still evaluating reported incidents and that   
   we need to protect the privacy of individuals reporting   
   incidents, we cannot provide or confirm specific details at this   
   time.”
