Russia's Nord Stream gas pipelines to Europe suffer mysterious leaks

There are suspicions of sabotage because of the leaks on the two key gas pipes that bring Russian gas to Europe. TheNord Stream pipes, which run under the Baltic Sea, have at times been a focal point of diplomatic tensions. European Union leaders have accused Putin of using energy supplies to retaliate against sanctions.

The agency said in a statement that there were two leaks on the first and second part of the project. The alert level was raised to orange.

The agency's director said in a statement that the agency sees reason to raise the level of readiness because of the recent incidents. In order to strengthen the security of supply, we want to ensure thorough monitoring of the critical infrastructure of the country.

According to reports, the leaks are larger than the cracks.

There are indications that the leaks were caused by deliberate damage. It is difficult to imagine that these are coincidences. sabotage can be ruled out.

All ships and aircraft can't get within 5 nautical miles of the leaks. There is a chance that ships could lose their strength.

The development is odd and could be sabotage or accident, according to Anthony King.

The Russians have the ability to carry out something like this, and they frequently threaten the internet in the Atlantic to show that they could cut them. He thinks it might be the Russians. I don't think they'd gain anything from selling gas. It might actually be an accident.

There were two big spikes in seismic activity under the Baltic Sea on Monday, one at 00:03 UTC and the other at 17:03. The noise was stronger than before the spikes. They don't know the cause of the spikes or the noise.

Each of the two affected pipes is made up of 100,000 sections. At the time the leaks were discovered, none of the pipes were in use. The network's pipes are said to be 28.6 millimetres thick and covered in anti-corrosion material.

There are other pieces of energy infrastructure that have been affected by Russia's invasion of Ukranian. Experts have warned of the risk of an accidental release of radioactive material due to the fighting around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and Chernobyl.
