In September 2022, three gas leaks were identified at the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines offshore Sweden and Denmark. The pipelines are operated by Nord Stream, which is a consortium majority owned by Russia’s Gazprom.
As per the Danish army statement, Nord Stream 1 had two leaks northeast of Bornholm, and one leak was detected at the Nord Stream 2 in the south of Dueodde in the Baltic Sea.
Reuters recently reported that Sweden and Denmark have concluded that the incidents on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were the result of explosions.
According to an agency spokesperson, the firm submitted an application to the Danish Geodata Agency in October and approval was given on 1 November 2022.
