A fourth leak discovered in the Nord Stream

MADRID, 29 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Swedish Coast Guard discovered a new gas leak in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines on Thursday, bringing the total number of leaks to four, as reported by Channel 4 of Swedish television.

"Another gas leak has been discovered in the Baltic Sea, confirms the Coast Guard. This means that a total of four leaks have been found in Nord Stream 1 and 2," the aforementioned chain has detailed during a live broadcast.

Two of the leaks in Nord Stream have taken place in the area of ​​the Baltic Sea belonging to Denmark, and another two in the area belonging to Sweden.

The intelligence unit of the Swedish Police (SÄPO) has taken charge of the investigation of the gas leaks and has ruled out the possibility that "a foreign power is behind" the alleged sabotage.

During the day on Tuesday, Denmark, Poland, the United States and Norway expressed suspicions that the leaks in the gas pipeline were the result of acts of sabotage. Swedish seismologists have gone further and confirmed explosions in the area hours before the leaks were confirmed.

The operator of the Nord Stream, Nord Stream AG, said on Tuesday that the damage suffered in the pipes late on Monday "is unprecedented", after a gas leak in one of the sections of the Nord Stream 2 and a loss of pressure in the Nord Stream 1, without the causes being known for now.
