Lavrov: Russia has info about attempts to blow up Turkish Stream, Blue Stream

Russia has information indicating attempts to blow up the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream gas pipelines in the Black Sea, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"Now, when everyone is demanding that we allow them to export grain again, we are not banning them, we are just not going to let them through the humanitarian corridors that were opened and that were used to launch these surface and underwater vehicles to attack not only our military vessels but also civilian ones," the minister said, according to TASS.

"Moreover, they tried to attack the warships that were patrolling the route of the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream gas pipelines. We started patrolling these sections of the Black Sea because there is information that they are also trying to blow them up, just as the Nord Streams were blown up.
