The pipelines transporting Russian gas to Germany were ruptured by a series of explosions in Swedish and Danish economic zones. Sweden shortly after the incident said its investigation in the Swedish economic zone found traces of explosives on site, showing that sabotage had taken place. It has not publicly identified any suspects.

Danish police, who are conducting their own investigation, declined to comment on Monday.
