Berlin-based media, 'Nord Stream could be unusable forever'

28 September, 19:38

(ANSA) - BERLIN, 28 SET - Security services in Germany fear that the three Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, probably damaged by an attack, could become unusable forever. That's what the German Tagesspiegel reported. Furthermore, according to government sources cited by the newspaper, salty water may corrode the material they are made of if they are not repaired immediately. 

EU sees Nord Stream pipeline leaks as 'deliberate act'

The EU considers leaks from two Russia-Germany undersea gas pipelines this week "are not a coincidence", with indications they were "a deliberate act", the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Wednesday.
Expressing "deep concern" over the Nord Stream 1 and 2 leaks and calling for an investigation, Borrell said in a statement that "all available information indicates those leaks are the result of a deliberate act".
