Russian warships and submarines near the sabotaged North Stream pipeline sighted

Auxiliary ships of the Russian navy, a warship and submarine were spotted near the north stream pipelines before the alleged sabotage of the gas supply connections to Europe became known.

European security officers discovered the boats on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday evening, underwater explosions were registered and four large gas leaks were caused by the “unprecedented” damage on Tuesday.

In another incident, Russian submarines were spotted in the Baltic Sea near the area last week, which includes Danish and Swedish territorial waters, Cnn.

Satellite images of two Russian warships in Danish waters near the pipeline in June were also published, and other pictures of all ship movements are analyzed by German secret services.

A theory says that Russia has laid the explosives far in advance. Modern seamins can be used and programmed so that they explode when they perceive certain noises.

A Russian warship injured Danish waters twice in June north of Bornholm's Baltic island, near the place where the pipes Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 were hit.

The ship drove again in the early morning hours of Friday, 30 minutes after midnight, and a few hours later into Danish waters. It left the Danish navy after the Danish navy had produced radio contact in an incident in an incident that Copenhagen called the Copeptable provocation.

Russia claimed that the Danes had not submitted any evidence of a violation. The satellite images published by the Covert Shores defense analysis largely match the Danish version of the events.

It was unclear whether the ships could have been involved, Sources CNN said, while a Danish official told the broadcaster that Russian ships were routinely operated on the area.

"We see them every week," said the military officer, "the Russian activities in the Baltic Sea have increased in recent years. They are quite often putting our consciousness on the test - both at sea and in the air."

The investigators examine whether the seafares could have been involved in the "intentional, ruthless and irresponsible sabotage act on Thursday, as NATO called it. In Sweden, the SAPO secret service took over the Swedish investigation from the police.

divers or mini submarines could have been used to lay the mines, while analysts to Swedish media said that sabotage could even have been carried out from a small fishing boat.

The Kremlin, who denies to have been involved in any sabotage, said that there was a much greater NATO presence in the area when he was asked about the ships on Thursday.

Russia said that the area was “fully controlled” from the US secret service and called for an investigation.

Due to the dangerous conditions caused by the methanga bubbles that can catch fire and sink ships, it could take two weeks for a proper examination to begin.

Shipping and deep aircraft are banished from the area and searches at depths of up to 80 meters would have to be carried out.
