A five-year investigation has uncovered evidence pointing to a specific Russian intelligence unit as potentially responsible for Havana Syndrome, the mysterious ailment that has affected American officials, intelligence agents, troops, and some of their families at diplomatic posts and intelligence facilities. The probe, led by 60 Minutes producers Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados, uncovered what one source described as "a receipt" for acoustic weapon testing by the Russian unit.

While the initial reports focused on diplomats and intelligence officers, the investigation revealed that their children have also been affected. These youngest victims have experienced unexplained symptoms both at home and abroad.
