SWEDISH officials said today that they have decided to close their investigation into the September 2022 explosions on the underwater Nord Stream gas pipelines, saying they do not have jurisdiction.

Sweden’s investigation was only one of three into the explosions. Denmark and Germany are also examining the blasts.

The attack, which happened as Europe attempted to wean itself off Russian fossil fuels following the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, contributed to tensions that followed the start of the war.
