Military-Grade Sonic Cannon Used Against Protesters in Serbia
Recent footage has surfaced showing what seems to be a military-grade sonic cannon used to disperse peaceful demonstrators in Serbia.
Reports indicate that riot police employed this enigmatic weapon to disperse the massive crowds of hundreds of thousands gathered in Belgrade to protest government corruption.
The demonstrators were in a moment of silence to honor 15 victims of a tragic railway station collapse that occurred last year when a sudden whooshing sound created chaos, triggering panic and a stampede.
Screaming protesters rushed for cover, leaving the downtown area nearly deserted as they stumbled over one another. Many reported severe headaches, nausea, and disorientation—symptoms consistent with exposure to sonic weapons.
Health Risks and Reaction from Authorities
Experts define sonic cannons as capable of emitting sounds up to 160 decibels, comparable to a rocket launch or shotgun blast. At levels above 120-130 decibels, human ears experience intense pain, leading to concerning physical repercussions like ear damage and hearing loss.
Advocates for an independent investigation into the alleged usage of this unauthorized weapon in Serbia have intensified. Human rights organizations and opposition officials have vowed to seek legal action against those responsible for deploying the sonic cannon.
Serbia’s President, Aleksandar Vucic, dismissed the claims as falsehoods intended to undermine the nation and stated his intention to invite international authorities, like the FBI, to investigate. However, military analysts and prominent local figures have raised alarms over the authorities’ use of such weapons during predominantly peaceful protests.
