MADRID, 18 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Danish Police have concluded that the gas leaks detected in Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 in the Baltic Sea were due to “powerful explosions”, in line with investigations that have also been carried out in neighboring Sweden. .

In total, the gas pipelines suffered four leaks, two in the dependent exclusive economic zone of Sweden and another two in those of Denmark. The preliminary investigations carried out so far confirm the hypothesis of sabotage, although at this point no one dares to point the finger.

The Copenhagen Police and the Danish Intelligence services will collaborate to further advance the investigations, with a view also to cooperating with the authorities of Sweden, Germany and Norway. The Danish authorities have stated that it is still early to determine when to finish these analyses, according to a police note.

The explosions caused methane gas to leak, even though both pipelines were not currently in use. The flow in Nord Stream 1 was canceled for alleged maintenance reasons and Nord Stream 2 was not even operational, after Germany rejected the project after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
