Worth noting that at least one Canadian diplomat was also among the injured (worth noting because Canada has much better relations with Cuba than the US does).
This is such a bizarre story, and I'd love to know the truth behind it - naturally, even if a full and frank report appeared, it'd still be highly questionable just because of its association with intelligence work.
I do recall reading, though, that one remedy against eavesdropping by laser monitoring of vibrations in windowpanes is to deliberately induce white-noise vibrations in them yourself. That seems like the kind of thing that could cause inaudible but damaging infrasound standing waves inside your own building, so I wonder: is it possible that this was an accidental self-inflicted injury?
All of this, of course, assumes that any of it even happened - and who can say with spies involved?
