The local governor of the island of Kristiansau said on Thursday that Danish police are searching for a yacht on the small island located in the Baltic Sea near the sites of the Nord Stream pipeline explosions.
"The police are looking for a particular boat that was anchored here last September," Sauron Tim Andersen, the highest authority on the island, told Reuters.
The German authorities had confirmed the day before yesterday, Wednesday, that they raided a ship last January suspected of transporting the explosives used in the bombing of the pipelines.
The explosions of last September 26 in the two Nord Stream pipelines, which are intended to supply Europe with Russian natural gas, have become a point of intense contention between Moscow and the West after the Russian war on Ukraine during the past year.
The authorities in Sweden, Germany and Denmark are currently investigating the explosions, and say that they were deliberate, but did not specify who might be responsible for them.
