The Pentagon said it was aware of media reports about Nord Stream

WASHINGTON, Sep 27 – PRIME The Pentagon has seen media reports of gas leaks from the Nord Stream pipelines and will continue to monitor the situation, US Defense Department spokesman Pat Ryder said.

“We have seen media reports about this, but at the moment I have no information that I could provide you. Obviously, we will continue to monitor closely,” he said at a briefing for journalists.

On Monday, Nord Stream 2 AG reported that on one of the lines of Nord Stream 2 (it was filled with technical gas after construction), an emergency occurred in Danish waters near the island of Bornholm, accompanied by a sharp drop in pressure. In particular, the official representative of the operator noted that the pressure had dropped from 300 to 7 bar. The reasons are unknown, an investigation is underway, the company specified.

Then, Nord Stream AG, the operator of Nord Stream, reported a decrease in pressure on both strings (it was stopped since the end of August, but was filled with gas). The reasons are also not known. According to information from the Danish and Swedish authorities, two gas leaks were discovered at Nord Stream in the northeast of Bornholm Island and one at Nord Stream 2 in the southeast of the island.
