As investigators from several countries look into gas leaks at Nord Stream 1 and 2, Sweden’s public broadcaster said on Tuesday that monitoring stations in Sweden and Denmark had recorded heavy underwater explosions in the same area as the gas leaks on Monday.

 

“There is no doubt that there were blasts,” said Björn Lund, an associate professor of seismology at the Swedish National Seismic Network.

 

The Swedish National Seismic Network said it had detected two distinct blasts in the area on Monday. One had a magnitude of 2.3 and was recorded at as many as 30 monitoring stations in southern Sweden.

 

The first explosion was recorded at 2:03 a.m. on Monday, and the second at 7:04 p.m.

 

The warnings about the gas leaks came from the Swedish Maritime Administration on Monday afternoon and evening after ships detected bubbles on the surface.
