"We have leakage at two positions" off Sweden, said Coast Guard spokesperson Mattias Lindholm. There are two more off Denmark, he said. "All available information indicates those leaks are the result of a deliberate act," EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement Wednesday on behalf of the bloc's 27 members.Sweden's Coast Guard said the latest leak was found on Nord Stream 2, very close to a larger leak found earlier on Nord Stream 1.
Explosions were recorded before the leaks were reported. A first explosion was recorded by seismologists early Monday southeast of the Danish island of Bornholm. A second, stronger blast northeast of the island that night was equivalent to a magnitude-2.3 earthquake. Seismic stations in Denmark, Norway and Finland also registered the explosions.
