Sweden closes part of Baltic Sea area around pipeline gas leaks to navigation

摘要

Today on October 4, Swedish prosecutor in charge of the investigation into the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines ordered to close the area around the gas leaks in the Baltic Sea as part of a preliminary investigation into, as he said, a 'suspected gross sabotage.' 'I understand the great public interest, but we are at the beginning of a preliminary investigation and I therefore cannot go into details about which investigative measures we are taking,' Prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist said late Monday. Therefore, ships, divers, fishing vessels and underwater vehicles, among others, are banned from approaching the leakage zone closer than 9.3 km.
