Fourth leak in Nord Stream confirmed by Swedish coast guard

BY A STAFF REPORTER: A fourth leak in the Nord Stream pipelines was confirmed by Sweden's coast guard on Thursday. "There are currently two gas leaks in Swedish waters, a larger leak above North Stream 1, and a smaller leak above North Stream 2. Two leaks have also been reported in Danish waters," Sweden’s coast guard said in a statement. The coast guard added that one of its vessels near the pair of leaks in its home seas was reporting a "constant flow" of gas to the surface. The leaks in Swedish waters are approximately 1.8 kilometers (1 nautical mile or 1.1 miles) apart, with the distance from the smaller Swedish leak to the closest Danish leak being 4.6 kilometers (2.6 nautical miles), the coast guard said.
