27 September 2022 at 20:05 Prime Minister of Denmark: – Deliberate actions The Prime Minister of Denmark says the damage to the gas pipes is not an accident. – These are deliberate actions, it is not an accident, says Mette Frederiksen. – Several explosions have been observed within a short time on various pipelines. The Danish Defense Intelligence Service believes that there is no direct military threat to Denmark. The gas emissions also do not pose any risk to the population on Bornholm. Danish authorities are still working to uncover exactly what happened. Denmark takes the matter very seriously and is in dialogue with international partners about the situation. The gas sector in Denmark is now at the second highest preparedness level. This means increased security around facilities. The gas leaks are not expected to have any impact on the gas supply in Europe. Recently, no gas was transported from Russia to Europe in these gas pipelines. This is stated by Denmark’s Energy Minister Dan Jørgensen. It is expected that the leaks will continue for at least a week before they can be stopped. The Danish defense forces are present both on and off Bornholm with both ships and helicopters, to strengthen security in the area. This is stated by Denmark’s Minister of Defense Morten Bødskov.
