Russian Navy in Vicinity of Nord Stream Pipeline Leaks

September 28, 2022 at 9:26 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“European security officials on Monday and Tuesday observed Russian Navy support ships in the vicinity of leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines likely caused by underwater explosions,” CNN reports.

“It’s unclear whether the ships had anything to do with those explosions, these sources and others said – but it’s one of the many factors that investigators will be looking into.”
