Electric cable near Nord Stream explosion to be checked in Sweden
Tests will be carried out on an electric cable between Sweden and Poland to see if it has been damaged by one of the Nord Stream pipelines explosions, Swedish grid operator Svenska Kraftnat said.
The cable, situated approximately 500 meters from one of the explosions, is not currently operational, Xinhua news agency reported, citing a Swedish Television report.
“We do not know how serious the underwater detonation was. To ensure that nothing has happened (to the cable), we will conduct tests at the beginning of next week,” Per Kvarnefalk, senior vice president of Svenska Kraftnat’s projects division, was quoted as saying.
