* Three leaks were reported in Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines near Danish island last night and this morning
* Pipelines are leaking gas into the Baltic Sea, with one area more than 3,000ft wide churning with bubbles
* Danish PM Mette Frederiksen has said her government believes the leaks were caused by 'deliberate actions'
* Ukraine also pointed the finger at Moscow, describing the incident as a 'terrorist attack and act of aggression'
* Latvian Defence Minister has called on Nato and EU's member states to jointly investigate the pipeline blasts
Western leaders have blamed ‘deliberate’ sabotage after the Nordsteam pipe from Russia suffered 'unprecedented' damage off Sweden - causing 3000ft-wide bubbles in the Baltic Sea and causing prices to spike.
Explosions were heard near the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipes where gas is now leaking into the Baltic from three holes, scientists have confirmed, while chronic safety concerns have led to a five-mile exclusion zone being imposed around the affected area.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said her government believes the leaks were caused by 'deliberate actions', adding that the gas supply pipeline will be out of action for around a week.
