Traces of explosives were found at the site of the Nord Stream explosions — the Swedish State Security Service

The investigation confirmed that sabotage took place on Nord Stream pipes.

Both Nord Stream 1 pipes and one of the Nord Stream 2 pipes were disabled in late September.

The countries involved in the investigation assume that the Russian Federation is probably behind the explosions. This way, Russia allegedly wants to force Germany to certify the only intact Nord Stream 2 pipe.
