Markus ReuterOn Saturday, a mysterious weapon caused panic and the end of the big demonstration in <a href="https://23.social/tags/Belgrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Belgrade</a>. The Serbian government now admits to possessing LRAD sound weapons. There are indications of a coordinated attack on the demonstration and another weapon system. A search for clues.

Attention is paid to the subjective feel of the protestants who took the hit (and it was hundreds if not thousands of them). Harry Potter fans among them described it as an icoming of the Dementor(s). Almost all of them agree on a possible definition of what happened as "evil air".
