- European officials accused Russia of intentionally sabotaging its only pipelines to Germany on Tuesday as Moscow continues to strangle the continent’s energy supply.
- The Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, which were “torn open” by underwater explosions as strong as a minor earthquake, resulted in three large gas leaks off the coast of Bronholm, a Danish island in the Baltic Sea, reports The Times of London.
- Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin’s chief spokesman, expressed bewilderment at the incident. “No option can be ruled out,” Peskov said, according to The Times.
