Did Serbia Use an Illegal Sonic Weapon on Protesters? People Want Answers
Something weird happened at a massive anti-government protest in Serbia earlier this month, and now, people are demanding answers.
On March 15, thousands of protesters were gathered in Belgrade, holding a moment of silence. Then, out of nowhere, a strange, high-pitched noise cut through the air. People panicked, some rushed to the sidewalks, and others ran in fear. Witnesses described the noise as “a sound from hell” something they had never heard before.
Now, there’s growing suspicion that the Serbian government used a sonic weapon specifically, a U.S.-made Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), which is banned in Serbia and many other countries. These devices can cause ear pain, dizziness, and even permanent hearing damage.
President Aleksandar Vucic has denied everything, calling the accusations “lies and fabrications” and blaming the West for trying to bring him down. At first, officials said they didn’t even own an LRAD. But when photos surfaced showing one mounted on a police vehicle, they changed their tune, claiming it was just a loudspeaker for crowd control not a weapon.
Still, hundreds of protesters reported headaches, nausea, and ear pain after the rally. Some say doctors were pressured to avoid documenting these symptoms. Human rights groups have even taken the case to the European Court of Human Rights, while others are pushing for an independent investigation by international organizations.
To make things even stranger, Serbia has invited both the FBI and Russia’s FSB to investigate the incident. No word yet on whether they’ll take the case.
For now, the big question remains: What really happened that night?
