According to a report in the German magazine, the US Central Intelligence Agency warned Germany about possible attacks.
Natural-gas erupts from the surface of the Baltic Sea above the three leaking pipes in the video.
The sea surface was being disturbed by one of the leaks, according to the Defence Department.
