Analysis and investigation now come to the same conclusion.

Stockholm – The leaks on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines can be traced back to serious sabotage.

The Swedish public prosecutor's office came to this conclusion after investigating the explosion sites in the Baltic Sea.

Analyzes showed traces of explosives on several foreign bodies discovered, said the prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist, who was entrusted with the preliminary investigations, on Friday.

The advanced analysis work would continue in order to be able to draw more certain conclusions around the incident.

Caused by intentional detonations

At the end of September, a total of four leaks in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines were discovered after explosions near the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm, two of them in the exclusive economic zones of Denmark and Sweden.

Days after the leaks were discovered, it was suspected that sabotage was behind them and that they were caused by deliberate detonations.

Russia denies being responsible for the leaks.
