Russia may take 'legal action' over claim of US involvement in blasts

Russia may take political or "legal action" in response to a report claiming that the United States was involved in blasts that damaged the Nord Stream pipelines last year, the TASS news agency reported, citing a foreign ministry official.

In a blog post, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh cited an unidentified source as saying that US navy divers had destroyed the pipelines with explosives on the orders of President Joe Biden.
