>minor brain damage

Any brain damage is much more impactful than you think.

If I could guess it would be grey zone tactics to affect the most amount of people and inhibit their work. If you attack everyone there is less information pertaining to motive than a single target can get you.

I think it is a broad stroke attack that should not occur.

True. I guess the endgame may be "dumbing down" the "intelligence agency".

I doubt they are doing it to dumb down the agency. Any time you trigger a disruption or emergency protocol the entire operation is more vulnerable.
