Russia's foreign ministry on Thursday said that leaks on the Nord Stream pipelines occurred in a zone controlled by U.S. intelligence services, the RIA Novosti news agency reported citing the ministry.
On Monday, Danish authorities reported a gas leak from the defunct Nord Stream 2 pipeline close to the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.
Shortly after discoveries of the leaks on the Russian Nord Stream 2, the Swedish Maritime Authority issued a warning on Tuesday about two leaks on the Russia-owned Nord Stream 1 pipeline in Swedish and Danish waters.
Denmark's energy agency confirmed three leaks were detected on Nord Stream 1 and on Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, northeast and southeast of the island of Bornholm.
The Russia-owned Nord Stream 2 pipeline flowing from Russia under the Baltic Sea to Germany was originally constructed to double the volume of gas. However, as soon as construction finished, Germany decided to halt operations after the start of Russia's war on Ukraine.
