NATO issued its strongest statement yet on Thursday over the breaches in the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea, describing the damage as the result of “deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage.”
BERLIN — Two explosions in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines Monday resulted in what experts say could amount to the largest-ever single release of methane gas into the atmosphere, but it may not have been enough to have a major effect on climate change.New data released Wednesday by the Danish Energy Agency allowed scientists to produce preliminary estimates of the amount of methane released as a result of the pipeline leaks.
The NATO statement said any deliberate attack against the infrastructure of a member of the 30-country bloc would “be met with a united and determined response,” echoing the European Union’s warning the day before about a “robust and united response” to any attacks on energy infrastructure. Danish and Swedish authorities have ruled out natural causes for the explosions detected on Monday that caused the leaks. The Swedish National Seismic Network registered two distinct blasts in the vicinity of the Danish island of Bornholm and said they were similar in nature to explosions from Swedish military exercises it periodically monitors.
