Blast of the Nord Stream: details of the explosive operation in the Baltic Sea

According to glavcom.ua:

To blow up the "Nord Stream" and "Nord Stream 2" pipelines in the Baltic Sea, at least four explosive devices were used, each weighing between 14 to 27 kilograms, which were installed at a depth of approximately 70-80 meters. According to the investigation, a Ukrainian named Serhiy Kuznetsov allegedly led the sabotage group that detonated the gas pipelines. He is suspected of "anti-constitutional sabotage", "deliberate causing of an explosion", and "destruction of buildings". As reported by Tagesschau, this is mentioned referencing the arrest warrant.

German investigators claim that the group consisted of a skipper, four divers, and an explosives expert. The suspects allegedly planted at least four explosives, each weighing between 14 to 27 kilograms, which were a mixture of hexogen and oktogen. The explosives were allegedly equipped with delayed action detonators. In Germany, Kuznetsov may face up to 15 years in prison. Other members of the group returned to Hohe Düne, a resort area of the city of Rostock, where they previously rented a sailboat.

The Ukrainian is suspected of blowing up the "Nord Stream" gas pipelines, which attracted the attention of German investigators. According to their data, the person involved in the incident, Serhiy Kuznetsov, may become a defendant in serious crimes and face a sentence of up to 15 years in prison. The details of the case are being reviewed, and investigations are ongoing.
