Indian soldiers in the Himalayan heights were literally 'microwave cooked' making them leave their positions. According to a professor in Beijing (Prof. Jin Canrong of Renmin University), the microwave weapon used by the Chinese burned the soldiers and made it so uncomfortable that they abandoned their positions. After repelling the Indian soldiers these positions were later occupied by the Chinese. It appears the microwave radiation induced extensive pain and skin irritation in the Indian soldiers. Apparently, using this weapon, they could still claim that no bullets were fired.
It is further suspected that the same weapon was used against US Diplomats in Guangzhou in 2018.
The Poly WB-1 (https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/china/wb-1.htm) displayed in an airshow in 2014 was used. This appears to be the first time use of an electromagnetic weapon in a battle ground. Since, Chinese may want to use this weapon in safeguarding their new artificial islands (https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/chinas-artificial-islands-news-rumors/), it is plausible that they have upgraded the system between 2014 and 2020.
