An investigative team examining multiple explosions that rocked the Nord Stream pipeline network found Thursday that "detonations" damaged the lines as suspicions of sabotage remain high. In what could have been the largest methane leak in history, four sites along the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipeline have been examined by Danish and Swedish authorities after first being discovered last week in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Denmark. "There have been detonations near Nord Stream 1 and 2, within the Swedish economic zone, resulting in extensive damage to the gas pipelines," Swedish security police said in a statement reported by Reuters. "The continued investigation will show whether anyone can be suspected of, and later prosecuted for, this crime," the statement continued. "We don't usually involve foreign powers in our criminal investigations," Swedish Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist reportedly said during a Tuesday briefing.
