US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin discussed with his Danish counterpart Morten Bidskoff Washington’s assistance in investigating the explosions that occurred on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.
“Today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin called Danish Defense Secretary Morten Bedskov to discuss the recent Nord Stream explosions near the Danish island of Bornholm,” the Pentagon said in a statement, saying that “Secretary Austin has offered full assistance to Denmark, which has launched an investigation into the explosions. “.
It was also noted that the two ministers agreed to continue working together “to develop the situation.”
The accidents occurred simultaneously on Monday, September 26, on two pipelines for the export of Russian gas to Europe, where two gas leaks were discovered, one in Nord Stream 1 and the other in Nord Stream 2 near the island of Bornholm.
Germany, Denmark and Sweden said they did not rule out deliberate sabotage.
