“After removing most of the contamination from the site located next to the oil pipeline damaged yesterday, PERN technical services located the leak.
From the primary conclusions and from the way the pipeline is deformed, it follows that at the moment there are no signs of third-party interference, ”the operator said in a statement.
Experts conduct detailed studies to determine the cause of the incident.
Earlier, the Polish operator PERN reported that a depressurization was discovered in Poland on one of the two lines of the section of the Druzhba oil pipeline leading to Germany.
Polish government commissioner for strategic energy infrastructure Mateusz Berger said the leak could have been due to damage.
