Authorities in Germany are trying to establish what caused a sudden drop in pressure in the defunct Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, with a spokesperson for its operator saying it could have been a leak.
The pipeline has been one of the flashpoints in an escalating energy war between Europe and Moscow since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February that has pummelled western economies and sent gas prices soaring.
Nord Stream 2’s operator said pressure in the undersea pipeline dropped from 105 to 7 bar overnight....
(As an aside I've seen recent news stating that Nordstream 1 is now also down pressure in both lines. Unknown if true but if so, I'd have to think some type of sabotage occurred.)
