[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The Danish military announced today (27th) that the gas leaks in the natural gas pipelines "Nord Stream 1" and "Nord Stream 2" are already " Visible to the naked eye", because a large amount of gas emerges from the sea floor, and three large bubbles can be seen on the sea surface, ranging from 200 meters to 1,000 meters in diameter.

Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 are natural gas pipelines from northwestern Russia through the Baltic Sea to northern Germany.

The Danish government announced on Monday that a natural gas leak had been detected near Nord Stream 2, and the German Ministry of Economic Affairs later confirmed that the pressure on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline had dropped.

According to Reuters and AFP, the Danish military said in a statement that "the largest leak is an extended bubble with a diameter of 1 kilometer, and the smallest is about 200 meters in diameter."

Immediately after the accident, Denmark issued a warning that the gas leak southeast of the island of Bornholm was "dangerous for marine traffic" and ordered ships not to move within 5 nautical miles of the accident site.

The National Seismological Centre (SNSN) at Uppsala University in Sweden told Swedish Television (SVT) that they recorded several powerful explosions at the gas leak site on Monday.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen pointed out that someone deliberately sabotaged the pipeline, "We are talking about three leak points, which are still a certain distance from each other, which is why it is difficult to imagine that this is just a coincidence. ".

"It's some people speculating that it was sabotage. You have to ask: Who can profit from it?" a national security source told Reuters.
