Serbian protesters demand investigation as government denies 'sonic weapon' attack | DW News

Serbia's president Aleksandar Vucic is denying claims his police used a 'sonic weapon' to disperse protesters at a massive rally in Belgrade. Footage of the alleged incident has been circulating on social media. Witnesses report hearing a sudden piercing noise, causing crowds to scatter in panic. Opposition groups and activists claim it originated from a sonic weapon. DW is unable to verify those claims. The device emits a burst of incredibly loud sound to temporarily incapacitate people. Serbia has been gripped by months of protests, triggered by the collapse of a train station roof in the city of Novi Sad last November, killing 15 people. 00:00 Serbian government denies 'sonic weapon' attack 01:01 Sound researcher Pedro Oliveira explains how sonic weapons work #serbia #sonicweapon #vucic For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
