According to a media report, measuring stations in Sweden and Denmark recorded powerful detonations under water before the Nord Stream gas leaks in the Baltic Sea.
There is no doubt that these are blasts or explosions, seismologist Björn Lund from the Swedish Seismological Network (SNSN) told Swedish radio station SVT on Tuesday.
Stockholm – There were two clear detonations in the area on Monday, the broadcaster reported, citing the network – one at 2:03 a.m. and a second at 7:04 p.m. in the evening.
A total of three leaks were discovered on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines.
They occurred near the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm, partly in Danish and partly in Swedish waters.
The cause has not yet been determined.
Sabotage is not excluded.
