European officials suspect that Russia attacked Baltic gas pipelines
is raging in the Baltic Sea, off the Danish island of Bornholm. It is the result of explosions which ripped through the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which carry gas from Russia to Europe, early on September 26th. The cause was “apparent sabotage”, said Jake Sullivan, America’s national security adviser. It was “deliberate, reckless and irresponsible”, declared NATO. One European official says that Russia is the presumed suspect.
Yet GUGI is unlikely to have been the culprit in this case, argues Bryan Clark, a naval expert at the Hudson Institute, a think-tank in Washington. Its submarines are based in the Arctic and focus on the North Atlantic, Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea.
