A few days before the leak in the natural gas pipelines Nord Stream and Nord Stream-2 two ships with their radio beacons turned off appeared within three miles of the gas pipelines. This is reported by the website Wired, which cites an analysis made by the company SpaceKnow.

According to the analysis by satellite data monitoring company SpaceKnow, the two dark vessels, each 95 to 130 meters long, passed within several miles of the Nord Stream 2 leak points. passing through the region of interest,” said Jerry Jawornicki, CEO and co-founder of SpaceKnow. “They had their tracking sensors turned off, meaning there was no information about their movement, and they were trying to keep their location information and their general information hidden from the public,” adds Jawornicki.

The ships became possible to locate after analyzing photographs taken by some satellites.

Once SpaceKnow identified the ships, it reported its findings to NATO officials investigating the Nord Stream incidents. According to Jarovitsky, NATO representatives asked the company for additional information.

On September 26, two sections of the Nord Stream 1 natural gas pipeline leaked gas in Denmark’s exclusive economic zone, northeast of the island of Bornholm. Then a leak occurred in one of the lines of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in Denmark’s exclusive economic zone in the southeast of the island. Seismological stations in Sweden and Denmark recorded strong underwater explosions in the same area.

The Russian Defense Ministry had announced that the British Navy “participated in the planning, provision and execution of a terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea on September 26 to undermine the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines.” Russian President Vladimir Putin had blamed the US, claiming it had an interest in sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline.
