Sweden halts investigation into Nord Stream blasts

The probe has not established any likely suspects, according to prosecutors

Swedish prosecutors say they will drop their investigation into the explosions that damaged the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines due to not having established any likely suspects, the tabloid Aftonbladet has reported.

Built to deliver Russian natural gas to Germany via the Baltic Sea, the pipelines were rendered inoperable by a series of powerful explosions in September 2022. Germany, Sweden, and Denmark each launched their own national probes into the incident after failing to agree on a joint effort.
