A gas leak was discovered on September 26 at Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, and in four places at once . According to the operator Nord Stream AG, the accident is unprecedented and it is impossible to estimate the timeframe for repairs. The seismic center of Sweden has recorded powerful underwater explosions in the area of emergency. The authorities of Germany and Denmark do not rule out that sabotage became the cause of the emergency. The Kremlin called the incident an act of international terrorism. According to President Vladimir Putin, «sanctions are not enough for the Anglo-Saxons,» they have begun to destroy the pan-European energy infrastructure. Nord Stream has been suspended since late August due to problems with the repair of Siemens turbines caused by Western sanctions. But the pipeline remained filled with gas, as did Nord Stream 2, which was completed in 2021 but never entered service. >September 29, 17:48 The West found the culprit in the explosions at Nord Stream
