Gas leaks which largely remained unexplained were detected in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines from Russia to Germany on Tuesday. The gas leaks prompted investigations by European countries. A video released by Denmark’s armed forces showed bubbles rushing to the surface of the Baltic Sea above the pipelines. According to the Denmark’s armed forces, the gas leak could be the largest as it has caused surface disturbance of more than 1 kilometre in diameter.
