Sweden uncovers fourth leak in Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 2

Sweden has found another leak in the Russian gas pipeline, becoming the fourth consecutive to be discovered this week.

Denmark and Sweden reported several days ago on gas leaks to the Nord Stream 1 and 2, alerting authorities for the possibility of a deliberate attack by Russia.

The EU even said these leaks were due to the Russian sabotage.

Russia, however, denied these claims and called them predictable and absurd.

Swedish coastal guard reports he found the fourth leak at Nord Stream 2, very close to the large leak found earlier in the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, writes BBC, broadcast Klankosova.tv.

Before, The EU has accused Russia of exploiting gas supplies as weapons against the West, due to its support for Ukraine.

Norway, on the other hand, said it would decide its army to protect the installations of gas and oil.

Although none of the pipelines are currently transporting gas, although both are supplied with gas.

Nord Stream 1 extends into space of 1,200km under the Baltic Sea from the Russian coast near St Petersburg to northeast Germany. The next Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline has stopped transporting gas after Russian aggression began in Ukraine in February.

However, seismologists reported subterranean explosions before the leaks occurred. Danish Defence Command has published images of leaks that caused fluids on the Baltic Sea, where the largest was about a mile [1 km] in diameter.

“There is no doubt that these were blasts”, Bjorn Lund from the National Seismology Centre in Sweden said.
