Sweden's coastguard said on Thursday it had discovered a fourth gas leak on the damaged Nord Stream pipelines earlier this week, after ruptures first reported on Monday sent gas spewing into the Baltic Sea.
The European Union suspects sabotage was behind the leaks on the subsea Russian pipelines to Europe, and has promised a "robust" response to any intentional disruption of its energy infrastructure.
The leak reported on Thursday is the second one found in Swedish waters, while two others were discovered in Danish waters.

Huh? Like a robust Thank You. At least terrorists step up and take credit.
Multiple leaks? Corrosion failures?
Should have painted it. Preventive maintenance is a pain but it really saves headaches in the long run.
I could I find it on an alternative video site

That’s pretty quick for corrosion. Multiple corrosion incidents on BOTH pipelines ALL at the same time? What are the odds???
Is it possible to drive explosives through such a pipeline, some kind of robot?
This area is the most heavily surveyed and patrolled area by the US and NATO. US and NAOT had major sea and under water exercises in that area in July, and the US has a warship “patrolling” right on top of the area in question last week. The Danes watched them. How in the world can this be under investigation when we already know that we, the US, did this?

It's called a 'pipeline pig' and James Bond could do it.
A lot of people are having a hard time grasping the concept that USA is the bad guy here.
Low, but non-zero.
The Northeast power blackout of 1965 was caused when a single power line failed, its load was dumped onto another power line, overloading it and causing it to fail. The combined load was dumped onto another transmission line and guess what? That line failed and dumped the load...
If one pipeline failed due to corrosion, and the flow was switched to the other pipe, the pressure spike could have ruptured a similarly corroded section to fail more more less immediately while weakening other corroded areas.
Low quality Russian steel, low quality paint, shoddy assembly, shoddy coating by inebriated steel workers and painters.
A newer line under salt water should never have sprung several leaks..especially TWO lines.
Do we "KNOW" that for a fact?
Even a blood spattered ax murderer splattered in blood and still swinging an ax when arrested is an "alleged" murderer.
Does your own country deserve less consideration than a fair trial before guilt is legally established?
No presumption of innocence in your mind? None whatsoever?
Too many players who benefit or forward their goals by the loss of this supply line to be certain it's the US.
Given the spigot was turned off at source and at destination, whatever content under pressurization that remains will empty and be replaced by sea water, one might think. So, it wasn't working, isn't working and will not be working in the short term future. Sounds like an option was wiped off the negotiating table. Cui bono?
An explosion would be far more visible and explosive - it is explosive gas we’re talking about here.
*shrug* It is the way to bet, but let's see where the actual evidence leads.
