US Navy vessels were operating near the Nord Stream pipelines shortly before the explosions that crippled the connectors in the Baltic Sea, Danish newspaper Politiken has reported, citing a local harbormaster. The newspaper added that their transponders – used to locate vessels for safety purposes – had been switched off.

The crucial energy infrastructure, built to deliver Russian gas to Germany and the rest of Europe, was ruptured by underwater blasts in September 2022.

The piece by Politiken was published on September 26 but largely went unnoticed. However, it resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, with claims being reposted by Glenn Greenwald and other prominent journalists.

According to the article, American warships had been operating in the area east of the Danish island of Bornholm a few days before the explosions with their transponders off. The circumstances prompted a local harbormaster at the nearby Danish port of Christianso, John Anker Nielsen, to launch a rescue mission.

However upon reaching the scene they saw that the vessels in question were US Navy ships, Nielsen said. The Naval Command then told Nielsen and his colleagues to turn back, the harbormaster recounted.

Nielsen told the paper he decided to share details of the events of September 2022, despite initially being “not allowed to say a thing” about them.

Etc.
