MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 28th September, 2022) The Central Intelligence Agency warned Germany in summer about possible attacks on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, media said Tuesday.
The US tipped off Germans only weeks before pipeline operators reported a drop in pressure readings at both pipelines, the Spiegel magazine has learned from sources familiar with the matter.
A German government spokesperson declined to comment on activities of foreign intelligence agencies.
Nord Stream 1 was delivering natural gas to Germany from Russia before Gazprom halted it in August, while Nord Stream 2 was never turned on, but both were filled with gas. Denmark said on Monday that the offshore gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea were leaking gas.
