Five colossal underwater explosions occurred in the Gulf of Finland within Russian territorial waters.
The detection was done by the Institute of Seismology of the University of Helsinki. Four explosions occurred on Thursday and one on Friday.
Russian sources say that the attacks took place on October 21, which is last Friday, but were kept secret. Magnitudes are: 2.0, 1.5, 1.5 and 1.4 Richter. The explosions occurred near the Nord Stream pipelines in the section starting from Russia. Russian vessels, however, have blockaded the area since Thursday.
The explosions are located in Russian territorial waters, about 40 kilometers southwest of Vyborg. There are four scenarios for the causes of these explosions:
1) There has probably been further sabotage of parts of Nord Stream 1 and 2 respectively.
2) This is the destruction of underwater observation stations of either Russia or NATO that had been illegally “planted” in the area. Underwater stations control underwater traffic, i.e. if there is a presence of submarines or marine vehicles in general.
3) This is the closure of underwater passages, i.e. ravines, valleys, etc. The relief of the seabed is exactly like that of the land. Probably the Russians, with explosions, caused underwater landslides to “cut” underwater routes and protect their territorial waters.
4) And as a final scenario, the possibility of pursuing NATO submarines is presented and that the Russians used high-powered underwater bombs.
It is noted that Finnish seismologists recorded the new underwater explosions in the territorial waters of the Russian Federation. It was reported on several Telegram channels, as well as by the Russian web portal 47channel.ru and the Ukrainian portal Obozrevatel.
The underwater explosions as we said occurred on October 20 and 21, 2022, based on the daily bulletin of the Institute of Seismology of the University of Helsinki. The border of Finland is located 30 kilometers from the place that attracted the attention of experts.
