Gas from Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline leaks into Baltic Sea
Source: Reuters
BERLIN/COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Danish authorities on Monday asked ships to steer clear of a five nautical mile radius off the island of Bornholm after a gas leak overnight from the defunct Russian-owned Nord Stream 2 pipeline drained into the Baltic Sea.
The German government said it was in contact with the Danish authorities and working with local law enforcement to find out what caused pressure in the pipeline to plummet suddenly. Denmark's energy ministry declined to comment.
On Monday evening, the operator of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which ran at reduced capacity since mid-June before stopping supplies altogether in August, also disclosed a pressure drop on both lines of the gas pipeline.
"The reasons are being investigated," Nord Stream AG said on its website, without disclosing further information.

Both Nord Stream 1 & 2 pipelines are leaking gas? Pure coincidence
