During the investigations into the explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, the investigators said they found traces of explosives on a suspicious sailing yacht.

The letter is available from the German Press Agency. It goes on to say that there is a suspicion that the sailing yacht was used to transport the explosives used in the sabotage of the pipelines. The three country representatives stressed to the most powerful UN body that the investigations are ongoing: "At this point in time it is not possible to reliably clarify the identity of the perpetrators and their motives, particularly with regard to the question of whether the incident was committed by a state or controlled by a state actor.” On September 26, 2022, explosions were initially registered near the Danish island of Bornholm and a little later four leaks were discovered in three of the four pipeline lines. The operator of Nord Stream 1 later spoke of meter-deep craters and widespread debris on the seabed.
