Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, says that Moscow has special services at work which have been tasked with obtaining more information about Trump's remarks.
Sonic weaponry uses intense sound waves to debilitate opponents. Some use focused, painful sound beams in direct attacks, while others use higher-pitched frequencies to target specific age groups with varying hearing ranges.
The weapons can cause headaches, balance problems, confusion, and permanent hearing damage.
"We all started bleeding from the nose," the witness continued. "Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was."
He added that he had "never seen anything like it."
President Donald Trump has revealed that the US military used a new weapon system—the "Discombobulator"—during the military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro from his residence in the capital Caracas earlier this month successfully without losing a single American life. "The Discombobulator. I'm not allowed to talk about it," Trump told the New York Post during an exclusive interview in the Oval Office.
"I would love to," the president added, before confirming its use in the stealth operation.
Trump claimed that the weapon "made [Venezuela's] equipment not work," suggesting that the new system was able to disable and disrupt the Venezuelan air defence and radar systems and allowed US forces to carry out the raid with near-impunity.
