“Any deliberate disruption of an active European energy infrastructure is unacceptable and will lead to the strongest possible response,” she wrote.

She also stressed that it is necessary to investigate the incidents, to get “full clarity about the events and causes.”

The work of Nord Stream has been suspended since the end of August due to problems with the repair of Siemens turbines caused by Western sanctions. However, the pipeline remained filled with gas.

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.
