There seems to be some electronic component and some biophysical component. The article describes a RADAR system suddenly failing and “buttons pressed” that stop working, which makes me think of EMP.
The article also mentions a (different?) weapon with physical effects
At one point, they [the USA] launched something; I don’t know how to describe it. It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside,” the witness said.
“We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.”

They probably just performed a standard cyberattack on the radar systems before sending in the troops, it doesn't have to be the same weapon for both.
