Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage and Undersea Explosions
Three underwater pipes of the Nord Stream gas system are damaged by powerful undersea explosions in the Baltic Sea, equivalent to hundreds of pounds of TNT. While the U.S. and Europe suspect sabotage, the Kremlin expresses extreme concern. The segment notes that the explosions occurred just as a new pipeline from Norway to Poland was inaugurated, and recalls President Biden's earlier promise to "bring an end" to Nord Stream 2.
