Shocking footage of Nord Stream gas leak in the Baltic Sea has been captured (VIDEO)

According to Danish authorities, there are three leaks that were discovered recently. According to Tagesschau, however, these should have no effect on the gas supply, which has already been cut off anyway. The incident is nevertheless noticeable in the Baltic Sea itself.

Rumours about the authors are doing the rounds

As reported by Der Spiegel, the German government can currently imagine that it is a possible attack on the pipelines. According to RND, the security authorities also tend to rule out 'hobby divers or militant environmentalists' as the cause.

According to RND, rumours are circulating that see a false flag action as the reason for the alleged attack, others claim that Russia could be behind the considerable damage. Authorities on the German and Danish sides will reportedly start looking for clues in the next few days. So it may take some time before the perpetrators are found.

Consequences for the Baltic Sea

While attempts will soon be made to find the reasons for the destroyed pipes, the effects on the Baltic Sea can already be seen. Just how much gas is leaking is shown in pictures posted by the Danish army on Twitter.
