(ANSA-AFP) - STOCKHOLM, OCT 3 - Sweden's coast guard said
Monday it could no longer see any leaks from the Nord Stream 1
pipeline in the Baltic Sea, but a smaller leak from Nord Stream
2 was still visible. "The larger leak is now no longer visible
on the surface while the smaller one instead has increased
slightly," the coast guard said in a statement. The observations
were made during an overflight on Monday at around 8:00 am (0600
GMT) of the two pipelines suspected to have been damaged in an
act of sabotage, it added. "At that time, the smaller leak was
approximately 30 metres in diameter," the coast guard said. A
spokesman for the operator of the Nord Stream pipelines, Nord
Stream AG, said Saturday that the leaking from the Nord Stream 2
pipeline had stopped because an equilibrium had been reached
between the gas and water pressure. (ANSA-AFP).
