This sea smoke buoy was salvaged from the seabed at a depth of 73 meters. The Danish Energy Agency added that representatives appointed by the pipeline operator Nord Stream 2 AG were also present during the work.

Earlier, Russia had advised Denmark to check for other explosives near the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, saying an unidentified object had been found about 30 kilometers from the explosion site. The object is cylindrical, about 40 cm high and 10 cm in diameter.

Russian experts believe that this may be an antenna that receives the signal to activate explosive devices that may be placed under the pipeline system.

On September 2022, 9, an explosion leaked in the Nord Stream pipeline, which transports natural gas from Russia to Germany and other European countries via the Baltic Sea. It was widely accepted that the incident was "sabotage". A few days later, Denmark, Sweden and Germany began independent investigations. The Russian side has repeatedly called for a joint investigation, but the relevant countries have refused.

On February 2023, 2, Seymour Hersh, a senior investigative journalist in the United States, broke the news that the "Nord Stream" pipeline explosion was carried out by the US military at the behest of US President Joe Biden, and the Norwegian military was involved, while the United States insisted on denying that it was related to the "Nord Stream" pipeline explosion.

On March 3, the UN Security Council voted on a Russian draft resolution calling for the UN to establish a commission of inquiry into the damage to the Nord Stream pipeline, but the final vote failed to adopt the draft resolution.

The Russian Embassy in the United States said the United States is trying to hide behind the investigation of Nord Stream by allies, who are doing everything in their power to block impartial efforts to establish the truth about the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
