Half a ton of explosives placed by the robots normally used for the maintenance of the Nord Stream. This is the hypothesis that the Guardian newspaper outlines in relation to the explosions – in total there would be 4 – that damaged the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea, causing a leak of methane gas. The Guardian refers to a joint report that Denmark and Sweden have delivered to the UN: the document states that the leaks in the plants were caused by explosions comparable to the power of “several hundred kilos of explosives”. The line, highlights the newspaper, is also shared by the German authorities. Intelligence sources cited by Der Spiegel magazine highlight that the explosions, located in 4 different points, would be linked to the use of about 500 kilos of TNT: the hypothesis was developed on the basis of the analysis of the data recorded by the seismographs. The first signs of a detonation were recorded in the early hours of Monday 26 September. The explosions, according to the first reports, would have occurred at a depth between 70 and 90 meters. The use of mini-submarines does not appear to be compatible with the quantity of explosives mentioned by the experts, who therefore rely on the use of robots usually used for plant maintenance operations.
