Nord Stream Sabotage
The Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, which delivered energy to Germany from Russia, were hit by explosions in September 2022. In February, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh alleged that the explosions were organized by the US with the support of Norway.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Energy has become a target for terrorists, and accidents at the Nord Stream pipelines are good examples of this, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

“Energy is what develops us … energy is what becomes a target for the criminal actions of terrorists, as we saw with [Nord] Stream [pipelines] and energy is what the future of all mankind, including our country, is connected with,” Peskov said.

Earlier in the day, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated once again that the sabotage against the pipeline system was a deliberate attack by those who sought to undermine continental gas security.
On September 26, the Nord Stream pipeline network suffered from explosions, resulting in a rapid pressure drop and leakage under the Baltic Sea.
Moscow has been investigating the pipeline incidents as acts of international terrorism, while European Union officials also said that the gas link was sabotaged. Sweden and Denmark are also investigating the blasts, but they announced they don't intend to include Russia in the probe.
