A bomb expert from Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office stated that traces of explosives found on the Andromeda yacht allegedly used by saboteurs to blow up the Nord Stream were consistent with those used in the 2022 natural gas pipeline bombings.
"It's the same explosive," Germany's DPA quoted the expert as saying at a regular session of Hamburg's Higher Regional Court, which is examining the case surrounding the possible sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.
The DPA agency reports that the expert testified that traces of RDX and Octogen were found on Andromeda. The expert pointed out that these are very strong materials that are usually used by the army.
