Who could be behind the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage?

Since the Nord Stream gas pipelines located in the Baltic Sea exploded on Tuesday, countries have been quick to point fingers as to who is behind the unusual leaks.

Germany's Nord Stream AG, which operates the pipelines, is conducting tests to assess the damage. The company said in a statement that it cannot provide an estimate for when the gas pipelines' infrastructure will be restored.

While the German-operated company determines a cause, several other European countries are ready to launch an investigation into potential sabotage. Josep Borrell Fontelles, the European Union high representative for foreign affairs and security, released a statement on Wednesday expressing the EU's concern over the incident, stating that the leaks point to a "deliberate act" and are "not a coincidence and affect us all."
