It would also fry your electronics and be incredibly noticeable and very easy to prove.

Also, 10 000W wouldn't be enough because that power isn't into a single resonant cavity, we'd be talking about pulses with instantaneous power an order of magnitude higher at the very least.

One could beam form to focus a pulse that substantially dissipates in the human body through water absorption vibration modes.

The pulse was still nowhere near directional enough to only impact a single person over long ranges and not essentially act as a massively detectable EMP.

Didn't the incident happen at night?

By noticeable, I mean as in electronics being destroyed, and any kind of equipment the US would have obviously deployed to attempt to detect it would register an absolutely massive signature.
