At least six bombs were placed on four branches of the two Russian gas pipelines Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 - German newspaper Welt reported.
According to Welt, previous analysis showed that when destroying the Nord Stream pipeline, the saboteurs used only four explosive devices, but in reality there were at least six bombs.
Welt cited sonar images and previously unpublished documents from a lawsuit between pipeline operator Nord Stream AG and insurers that the newspaper obtained.
"These findings raise doubts about the hypothesis that the person who ordered the attack on Nord Stream was responsible," the German newspaper wrote.
Polish radio station RMF24 also reported on November 26 that experts from the Military Technical Academy in Warsaw, Poland found traces of TNT explosives at the site of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline explosions.
According to the updated data, experts have taken water and bottom sediment samples at the explosion site for analysis. Experts have found no traces of chemical weapons, but traces of TNT were found in three samples.
On September 26, 2022, explosions occurred on two gas pipelines from Russia to Germany, Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2.
Russian President Vladimir Putin described the sabotage as an act of international terrorism aimed at eliminating available energy sources and undermining the energy security of an entire continent.
Director of the Russian Federal Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin said his agency has information that saboteurs from the intelligence services of Anglo-Saxon countries were involved in the Nord Stream bombing.
The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has initiated international terrorism proceedings over the Nord Stream sabotage incident.
