HAVANA - Cuban government officials, through an hour-long presentation on Thursday, once again argued there is no evidence health "attacks" on American and Canadian embassy workers took place.

The Cuban investigation and the interactions with American and Canadian authorities show attacks did not happen, said Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, director of the U.S. Section at Cuba’s Foreign Ministry.

“We’ve been reassured through interactions that there is no proof these attacks took place,” said Fernandez de Cossio, who added the Cuban government doesn’t doubt there are sick embassy workers but their health issues they argue are not directly linked to living in Cuba.

Equipment that can create far-reaching sounds as described by American authorities do not exist in Cuba, said Ministry of Interior Lt. Coronel Roberto Hernandez Caballero.

Just because Cuba does not have this technology does not rule out foreign actors such as Russia.
