STOCKHOLM, November 25. /TASS/. The Danish television broadcaster TV2 Bornholm on Thursday evening released the first footage of the blast-damaged Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from an underwater drone. The less than three-minute-long video shows large-scale destruction caused to the pipeline in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark.

The TV channel had been granted permission by the Danish Maritime Authority to film the site of the explosion 20 kilometers away from the southern tip of Bornholm. The Swedish media resource Expressen previously published its own footage of the damage done Nord Stream in the Swedish economic zone.

According to military analyst at the University of Copenhagen, Jens Wenzel Kristoffersen, the Danish video indicates that there was undoubtedly an act sabotage against the gas carrier.

On September 27, Nord Stream AG reported unprecedented damage that occurred the day before on three strings of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 offshore gas pipelines. Swedish seismologists registered two explosions on the routes on September 26. The Russian Prosecutor-General's Office launched criminal proceedings over an act of international terrorism.
