Some Nord Stream gas pipeline lines damaged

Sweden's Marine Authority said two leaks were found in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

Denmark is also restricting transportation after another leak was discovered in the near Nord Stream 2.

Both pipelines contained gas under pressure, but none of them were pumping gas into Europe at the time they were found running.

The pipelines have been the focus of the energy dispute between Europe and Russia since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

Nord Stream AG, the network operator, has said it is impossible to assess when the operation of the gas network system will be restored.
