Denmark has joined Sweden in closing its investigation into the 2022 explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines, with authorities saying they concluded “there was deliberate sabotage” but “not the sufficient grounds to pursue a criminal case in Denmark”.

Copenhagen police and the Danish security service, who carried out the investigation together, made the remarks in a joint statement.
