On September 26, the Nord Stream AG pipeline operator said that a dispatcher had registered a rapid gas pressure drop on Line A of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Later the same day, a similar announcement was made regarding the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

On Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the scale of destruction at the Nord Stream gas pipelines indicates that it was some kind of terrorist act.

The incidents are being investigated by the Russian Prosecutor General's Office, as well as Swedish and Danish authorities.

The incident occurred in Danish waters near the island of Bornholm.

Russian Security Council on Nord Stream Explosions: US Is Main Beneficiary

The United States is the main beneficiary of the emergency situation at the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said on Friday.

"Literally from the first minutes after reports of explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, the West launched an active campaign to find those responsible. However, it is obvious that the main beneficiary, primarily economic, is the United States," Patrushev said at a meeting of the heads of intelligence agencies of the CIS countries.

The official recalled that a similar situation with the undermining of an underwater pipeline in the port of Puerto Sandino in Nicaragua already took place in October 1983.

"It is necessary to make a coordinated effort to expose the customers and perpetrators of this crime, which would be a good example of our effective interaction," he added.
