Separate investigations were launched by Germany, Denmark, and Sweden into the suspected sabotage, with German media reporting trust issues among the three EU nations.

Acclaimed investigative journalist and Pulitzer prize winner Seymour Hersh reported that the United States was behind the explosions that destroyed Nord Stream.

Flightradar24 data showed in late September that US military helicopters habitually and on numerous occasions circled for hours over the site of the Nord Stream pipeline incident near Bornholm Island.

A US Navy Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopter spent hours loitering over the location of the damaged natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea near Bornholm for several days in a row, September 1, 2, and 3, in particular.

According to the article, the United States decided to sabotage the pipelines after a lengthy debate that lasted more than nine months inside the US national security community.

Hersh explains that the explosives were planted during a NATO exercise in the Baltic Sea last summer, in coordination with Norway who was instrumental in helping the US plan the attack and conceal it from the Swedish and Danish navies.
