DISINFO: British navy involved in terrorist attacks against the Nord Stream pipelines

SUMMARY

British Navy specialists participated in the planning, delivery and implementation of a terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea on Sept. 26 by blowing up the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory and unsubstantiated claim from pro-Kremlin media about the explosion of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.

On 26 September 2022, the NS1 and the NS2 pipelines both ruptured. Denmark and Sweden view the Nord Stream pipeline leaks as 'deliberate actions'.

Sweden, Germany and Denmark opened an investigation into the incident. This is the first step in determining what caused the leaks. Meanwhile, pro-Kremlin sources are trying to fill the information space with accusations against the West.

As High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell stated: "Any deliberate disruption of European energy infrastructure is utterly unacceptable and will be met with a robust and united response." NATO called the incidents "deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage. Joe Biden says Nord Stream leak is ‘Deliberate act of sabotage’.

European Union did not name anyone who could be behind the incident.

Read similar cases linked to the topic of the Nord Stream pipeline explosion claiming that the US planned the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines and Poland did it, that Anglo-Saxons are responsible for blowing up Russia's Nord Stream pipelines and that The Nord Stream explosions bear a Western mark.
