Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Swedish PM says Nord Stream leaks probably due to ‘sabotage’ but doesn’t identify culprit” – below is their description.
Sweden’s prime minister said the leaks in Nord Stream 1 and 2 were probably due to sabotage but stopped short of identifying a culprit. The Danish PM Mette Frederiksen said it is too early to conclude what caused the leaks but also said sabotage couldn’t be ruled out.
Seismologists detected unusual activity underwater on Monday and identified two blasts. Björn Lund, a seismologist at Uppsala University, said his institute regularly records large explosions in the Baltic Sea, and is able to differentiate them from naturally occurring earthquakes. Lund explained that ‘there is no doubt this is not an earthquake. This is a blast that has been occurring in the water column or close to the bottom.’
US secretary of state Antony Blinken, who was on a trip to India, said he believed the leaks would not have a significant impact on Europe’s gas supply, but an investigation was underway to ascertain the cause of the leaks
