The Danish Energy Agency said in a statement: "Today, the 'Nord Stream-2' gas pipeline leaked in Danish waters." Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) reported It said that the relevant departments are investigating the leakage accident, but it has not been confirmed that the sudden pressure drop in the pipeline is caused by the leakage.
The Danish Maritime Administration issued a navigation warning and set up a no-navigation zone within 5 nautical miles of the accident site, on the grounds that "the leakage of natural gas poses a danger to shipping in the area". "We are currently in contact with the relevant authorities to clarify the situation. We still do not know the cause and exact facts of the accident," the German economy ministry said in a statement.

According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, "North Stream-2" is a natural gas pipeline from the Russian coast to Germany via the Baltic Sea seabed, with an annual gas transmission capacity of 55 billion cubic meters. Construction of the gas pipeline took three years and will be completed in 2021.

"Beixi-1" natural gas pipeline was completed in 2011. It starts from Russia in the east and leads to Germany via the Baltic Sea. It is the main gas pipeline from Russia to Europe. A turbine of "North Stream-1" was previously sent to Canada by Siemens for maintenance. Gazprom has repeatedly stated that due to Siemens' failure to deliver turbines for repair to Russia in a timely manner, the Russian side had to reduce the gas transmission volume of the "Beixi-1".
On September 2, local time, Gazprom announced that during the maintenance of the turbines of the "Portovaya" compressor station together with the representatives of Germany's Siemens, several oil leaks were found in the equipment, and the "Beixi-1" natural gas The pipeline will stop delivering gas completely until the fault is rectified.
