German prosecutors announced the arrest of Ukrainian national Vladimir Z. in Pula, Croatia, on suspicion of involvement in the 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. The trained scuba diver is 'strongly suspected of jointly causing explosions' near the Danish island of Bornholm. He allegedly worked with Sergiy Kuznetsov, another Ukrainian arrested in Italy and extradited to Germany. The group is accused of using a yacht rented in Germany with false identification to carry out the sabotage. German authorities are pursuing Z's extradition from Croatia.
