Serhii K., a Ukrainian man accused by German prosecutors of involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions, is due to go on trial in Hamburg on 14 October. He denies the charges, according to the BBC.

Charges over the Nord Stream pipeline blasts

Prosecutors allege that Serhii K. took part in a plot involving Ukrainian military personnel to destroy the pipelines. DW reports that the charges include alleged complicity in a war crime involving an attack on civilian energy infrastructure. The prosecution's account has yet to be tested at trial, and Ukraine has denied involvement, the BBC reports.

Explosions on 26 September 2022 ruptured three of the four Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea near Bornholm.
