The leaks are so big that they were seen on the radars of vessels in the vicinity, the Swedish Coast Guard says

It’s the clearest signal yet that Europe will have to survive this northern hemisphere winter without any significant Russian gas flows, as EU leaders repeatedly accuse Moscow of weaponising energy supplies. Germany’s economy ministry said it was working with the Federal Network Agency to investigate three simultaneous gas leaks in the Baltic Sea from the damaged Nord Stream pipelines. The leaks were so big they were seen on the radars of vessels in the vicinity, the Swedish Coast Guard said.
The Kremlin is likely to keep vital gas flows to Europe at minimal levels as long as the standoff over Ukraine continues, ratcheting up the pressure on the EU over its tough stance on Russia’s invasion, people familiar with the matter said in July. Russia is disrupting gas flows to raise the political heat on European leaders as winter energy shortages loom.
