Daily Mail: Extraordinary first images emerge of mangled Nord Stream: 165ft of blown-up Baltic Sea gas pipe is 'either missing or buried under the seabed' after it was attacked with 'extreme force' 

* An explosion on September 26 caused four leaks in the Baltic Sea pipeline 

* Two leaks were in Denmark's exclusive economic zone and two in Sweden's 

* Investigators have been working to ascertain the cause of the damage 

* Swedish investigators said earlier this month evidence suggested sabotage 

* Footage released today showed 165 feet of pipeline was destroyed or buried 

* Danish investigators also said today 'powerful explosions' damaged the pipes 

* Fingers have been pointed at Russia after Moscow cut gas supplies to Europe 

Extraordinary first images of a mangled Nord Stream pipeline have emerged, three weeks after it was blown up 'with extreme force' in a suspected act of sabotage. 

Footage, released on Tuesday, showed at least 165 feet of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was destroyed or buried under the seabed, following an explosion on September 26 - assumed by many to have been a Russian attack. 

Release of the images came as Danish police said 'powerful explosions' were behind damage to the two gas pipelines (Nord Stream 1 and 2) in the Danish part of the Baltic Sea. 

On October 6, Swedish investigators said their own initial investigations had come to a similar conclusion.

WNU Editor: Swedish journalists, together with Norwegian experts, photographed and filmed this destroyed 50-metre section of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline with underwater drones. 

As for the investigation itself. Sweden will not release their findings (link here), and a German minister said over the weekend the government knows who was responsible, but will not reveal that information due to "national security"!?!?!?!?
