247 - The Swedish coast guard discovered a fourth leak in the damaged Nord Stream gas pipelines earlier this week, a spokesperson told the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.

The European Union suspects sabotage is behind the leaks in Russian gas pipelines to Europe and has promised a "robust" response to any intentional disruption of its energy infrastructure, Reuters reports.

"Two of these four are in Sweden's exclusive economic zone," said coast guard spokeswoman Jenny Larsson on Wednesday evening (28). The other two are in Denmark's exclusive economic zone.
