The Soviet Union has resumed bombarding the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with low-intensity beams of microwave radiation, the State Department said. “Microwave signals . . . continue to be detected at the Moscow Embassy chancery,” the department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security said in a statement. The statement marked the department’s first status report on the still-unexplained radiation problem since Nov. 10, 1983, when then-Ambassador Arthur A. Hartman told reporters in Moscow that microwave beam operations had been protested to the Soviet Foreign Ministry.
