Gas outflow from last Nord Stream leaks has ended, Denmark cites company as saying
A total of four leaks were discovered on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea near Denmark and Sweden last week. While neither pipeline was in use at the time of the suspected blasts, they were filled with gas that has been spewing out and bubbling to the surface of the Baltic Sea since Monday. On Saturday, it was announced that gas was no longer flowing out of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
