US considers embassy closure in Cuba.
The United States is considering closing down its recently re-opened embassy in Havana following a string of unexplained incidents harming the health of US diplomats in Cuba.

"We have it under evaluation,"Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Sunday. "It's a very serious issue with respect to the harm that certain individuals have suffered. 

We've brought some of those people home.

Some victims felt vibrations or heard loud sounds mysteriously audible in only parts of rooms, leading investigators to consider a potential "sonic attack". Others heard nothing, but later developed symptoms.
Tillerson once called the events "health attacks" but the State Department has since used the term "incidents" while emphasising the US still does not know what has occurred.

Cuba has denied any involvement or responsibility, but stressed it is eager to help the US resolve the matter.
Investigators have explored the possibility of sonic waves, an electromagnetic weapon, or an advanced spying operation gone away. 

The US has not ruled out that a third country or a rogue faction of Cuba's security services might be involved.
