BRUSSELS, Sept 27 (Reuters) - European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday said the leaks of the Nord Stream pipelines were caused by sabotage, and warned of the "strongest possible response" should active European energy infrastructure be attacked.
"Spoke to (Danish Prime Minister Mette) Frederiksen on the sabotage action Nordstream," von der Leyen said on Twitter, adding it was paramount now to investigate the incidents to get full clarity on the "events and why."
"Any deliberate disruption of active European energy infrastructure is unacceptable and will lead to the strongest possible response," she warned.

Nord Stream leak is in 'diveable' zone and Russia has underwater drones, says expert
Sweden has begun a preliminary investigation into potential sabotage of the Nord Stream infrastructure.
The location of the Nord Stream leak is “diveable”, according to an expert, who also highlighted that Russia has underwater drones. Russia and European nations spent billions of dollars constructing the pipelines.
Moscow is still earning from the infrastructure, and is likely hoping to increase profits when its “special military operation” in Ukraine comes to an end.
But a Ukrainian official, quoted by Reuters, has called the incident a Russian attack to destabilise Europe, without elaborating or supplying proof.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also said: “We see clearly it's an act of sabotage, related to the next step of escalation of the situation in Ukraine.”
Russia has itself claimed sabotage remains a possibility, accepting the likelihood of disruption in Europe.

If America did this the next logical step is for the Russians to blow up American LNG terminals.

Didn't Russia just shut the Nord Stream down? If they didn't plan to sell Europe gas out of it perhaps they damaged a repairable area so they could blame Ukraine. That way Europe would be pissed at Ukraine.
