Gas bubbles up from a rupture in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline on September 27. Nearly six months later, the identity of the saboteurs remains unknown.
  • Days before the explosions, a tanker called the Minerva Julie was drifting nearby in the Baltic Sea.
  • The ship's curious stopover could interest investigators looking for witnesses.
  • The Julie's owners told Insider that the tanker had stopped "while awaiting her next voyage instructions."

The question of who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines is likely to remain an unsolved mystery for some time.
