The main leak of the Nord Stream in the Swedish part is no longer visible on the surface of the Baltic

MADRID, 3 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The largest gas leak from the Nord Stream that emerged last week in the Swedish part after the sabotage "is no longer visible on the surface" of the Baltic Sea, although the level of escape from the second "has increased slightly", according to a report published this Monday by the Swedish Coast Guard.

The sabotage led to a total of four escapes, two of them in the exclusive economic zone of Sweden. The main one, arising from Nord Stream 1, does not show bubbles on the sea surface, while the smaller one, in Nord Stream 2, extends for about 30 meters in diameter.

The Swedish maritime authorities have issued a navigation alert for the area, without it being known for now when the leaks will end. Initially, the experts estimated that it would end on Sunday, something that could have been fulfilled in the case of the largest leak.

The Russian company Gazprom confirmed on Monday the stabilization of the pressure in the damaged Nord Stream gas pipelines, which despite not being in use, did store pressurized methane, a type of gas that is especially polluting for the atmosphere.
