The US-led military bloc has decried “coercive use of energy” after the Russian-German pipeline was damaged
Damage caused to gas pipelines linking Russia directly to Germany was most likely caused by “deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage,” NATO said on Thursday.
The organization warned in a statement that leaks in the Nord Stream fuel connectors pose “risks to shipping and substantial environmental damage,” and called for a full investigation.
The military bloc said it was ready to act against “coercive use of energy and other hybrid tactics by state and non-state actors,” pledging a...

RT World News (RSS)
Such an incident is unlikely to have happened without the involvement of a state power, spokesman Dmitry Peskov says
The damage inflicted on the Russian Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines points to a probable ‘terrorist act,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
He told journalists it is currently difficult to say with absolute certainty what happened to the pipelines, but “the scale of destruction indicates that it really was a sort of a [terrorist] act.”
“It’s very hard to imagine that such a terrorist act could have happened without the involvement of some state power,” he said.

Sweden Discovers Fourth Nord Stream Leak
The Swedish coast guard has said it’s discovered a fourth Nord Stream gas pipeline leak, following major damage to the key infrastructure earlier this week in an alleged act of sabotage.
Swedish coast guard spokesperson Jenny Larsson told the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper that there were not three but four leaks in the undersea infrastructure, two in Sweden’s exclusive economic zone and two in the Danish exclusive zone.
Initially, Danish authorities discovered leaks on the pipelines, built to deliver Russian natural gas to the EU, on Monday after the operator reported a loss of pressure on both Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2.

Millions Lose Power as Hurricane Ian Moves through Florida
Some 2.5 million Florida households were left without electricity as the devastating Hurricane Ian - one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the US mainland - moved through the state with “catastrophic” 150mph winds.
The calamity caused floods, submerged vehicles and damaged buildings, authorities said. Florida governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency.
Ian weakened on Thursday morning as it was downgraded from a category 4 to a category 1 storm as it continues its north-easterly oath towards Orlando.

India Legalizes Universal Abortion Rights After Top Court Ruling
India's Supreme Court on Thursday upheld women’s rights to have an abortion up to 24 weeks into pregnancy regardless of marital status.
"The decision to have or not to have an abortion is borne out of complicated life circumstances, which only the woman can choose on her own terms without external interference or influence," the ruling said.
The decision came in response to a petition by a woman who said that her pregnancy resulted from a relationship, but she had sought abortion when said relationship failed.
