    The Swedish Survey Station detected two strong underwater explosions
    in the same waters where the "Nord Stream-1" and "Nord Stream-2" natural gas pipelines leaked on the 26th.


    According to Swedish television reported on the 27th, the two explosions occurred at 00:03 and 17:04 GMT on the 26th, and the Swedish Maritime Safety Agency subsequently issued a warning
    about gas leakage.


    Fraser Riksen said at a press conference on the evening of the 27th that according to the comprehensive assessment of the relevant Danish institutions, the leakage of the "Nord Stream" natural gas pipeline is not an "accident" but a "deliberate sabotage"
    .


    The Danish Energy Agency confirmed on the 27th that shortly after the "Nord Stream-2" pipeline in the waters near Denmark found a leak point on the 26th, the "Nord Stream-1" pipeline found two more leak points, which are located in the waters
    near Denmark and Sweden.


    The Danish Maritime Service has issued a navigational warning and established a 5-nautical-mile radius no-sail zone for ships and a 1-kilometre no-fly zone
    near the spill site in Danish waters.


    Russia's "Nord Stream-1" project operator Nord Stream Natural Gas Pipeline Company issued a statement on the 27th, saying that the three pipelines of the "Nord Stream-1" and "Nord Stream-2" submarine gas pipelines were damaged at the same time in one day, and it was impossible to assess the maintenance time
    .


    The Nord Stream-1 pipeline, completed in 2011, runs from Vyborg, Russia, in the east to Germany
    via the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
