(FILES) This handout picture released on September 30, 2022 by the Danish Defence Command and taken on September 29, 2022 shows one of four gas leaks at one of the damaged Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. German prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian man over the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, German media reported on August 14, 2024. A European arrest warrant was requested in June 2024 for the man, whose last known address is in Poland, according to the ARD broadcaster and newspapers Die Zeit and the Sueddeutsche Zeitung. It is not clear yet why Polish authorities weren't able to arrest the suspect, they said, and the man is now believed to have taken flight. The four leaks affecting the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea were caused by underwater explosions corresponding to hundreds of kilogrammes of explosives, a Danish-Swedish report said on September 30, 2022. All the leaks, which several countries say were caused by suspected sabotage as underwater explosions were recorded on Monday, September 26, 2022, were in the Baltic Sea off the Danish island of Bornholm.

Anschlag auf die Nord-Stream-Pipelines: Die Explosionen erfolgten am 26. September 2022. Drei Tage später war der Ort der Sabotage durch das ausströmende Gas noch immer leicht zu identifizieren. Wer die Terroristen waren und in wessen Auftrag sie handelten, ist weiterhin nicht geklärt. Immerhin gibt es jetzt einen Haftbefehl.
