A state actor's involvement in the blast of the Nord Stream pipelines last year is the 'absolute main scenario', though confirming identity will prove difficult, the Swedish prosecutor investigating the attack said on Thursday.

Gas bubbles from the Nord Stream 2 leak reaching surface of the Baltic Sea in the area shows a disturbance of well over one kilometre in diameter near Bornholm, Denmark, September 27, 2022.

"We believe it will be rather difficult to determine who did this," prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist told Reuters in a phone interview. While no conclusion has been drawn there have been a number of theories as to who blew up the pipelines and how.that may have been used to transport the explosives used to blow up the pipelines. German media reported the boat could have been used by a small Ukrainian or pro-Ukrainian group.

U.S. journalist Seymour Hersch reported earlier this year that American authorities, with aid of the Norwegian military, were behind the attack.
