Seismologists detected unusual activity underwater on Monday and identified two blasts near the pipelines. Björn Lund, a seismologist at Uppsala University, said his institute regularly records large explosions in the Baltic Sea, and is able to differentiate them from naturally occurring earthquakes.

Lund explained that 'there is no doubt this is not an earthquake. This is a blast that has been occurring in the water column or close to the bottom.'

US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, who was on a trip to India, said he believed the leaks would not have a significant impact on Europe's gas supply but an investigation was underway to ascertain the cause of the leaks.
