Leaks on the Nord Stream pipelines near a Danish island in the Baltic Sea are due to "deliberate acts" and "not an accident", Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Tuesday.

Copenhagen expects the leaks at the pipelines, which are not operational but full of gas, will last "at least a week" -- until the methane escaping from the underwater pipes runs out, the Danish energy and climate minister said at a press conference.
