Mystery Object Near Nord Stream Pipeline Sparks Investigation and Kremlin Interest

Denmark has invited Gazprom, the Russian energy giant, to inspect a mysterious cylindrical object found on the seabed next to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which might provide clues as to who was behind the bombings that struck the pipelines. Russian President Vladimir Putin said experts believe the object could be a signal antenna used to trigger an explosive in that section of the pipeline. International authorities have been investigating after a series of underwater bombings struck the gas pipelines in September last year.
