Swedish officials do not yet know if an undersea power cable that runs between southern Sweden and Poland was damaged.

The former head of the German Federal Intelligence Service claims Russia stood “to gain the most” from sabotaging Russian gas pipelines to Germany bypassing Ukraine and Poland.

The Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) has warned about the vulnerability of the Nord Stream pipeline to attack for well over a decade.

The Chinese government newspaper Global Times, citing Communist Party-approved “experts,” predicted on Wednesday that the world may never know the cause of the “unusual leaks” of the two Nord Stream pipelines previously used to send natural gas from Russia to Europe – but cast its suspicion towards the United States.

Swedish authorities have reported a new fourth alleged leak as some fear that the damage to the pipelines may be beyond repair.

The EU suspects sabotage in the Nord Stream case and is warning of retaliation for any attack on Europe’s energy networks.
