Explosions at Nord Stream occurred with the involvement of a state entity – this is the main version of the investigation in Sweden. This was announced on April 6 by prosecutor Mats Jungqvist, who is investigating the incident.

Jungqvist said it could not be ruled out that an “independent group of actors” rather than a state actor was behind the bombings, but this was unlikely.
There are some companies that have special tasks, that is, theoretically they could do it. We do not exclude anything, but the fact that a state entity is directly or at least indirectly behind this is, of course, our main version, given all the circumstances, the Reuters edition quotes the prosecutor.
The explosion occurred in the Swedish zone at a depth of 80 meters, which, according to prosecutors, complicated the investigation.
We believe that it will be very difficult to establish who did it. The people who did this probably knew that they would leave evidence behind and made sure that the evidence pointed not in one direction, but in several, the prosecutor added.
Investigators have already identified the type of explosive used in the sabotage and noted that this rules out “a very large number of actors.” The investigation is ongoing.
Recall that the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines consist of two pipes each. In September last year, three pipes were damaged by explosions, only one survived. NATO called the damage on the Nord Streams the result of deliberate sabotage.
