(ECNS) -- The United States owes the world a responsible explanation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Friday in response to reports that Pulitzer Prize-winning U.S. investigative journalist Seymour Hersh exposed the United States sabotaged the Nord Stream 2 pipelines last September.
Hersh claimed in a report with detailed information that the sabotage last September of the Nord Stream pipelines that transport natural gas from Russia to Europe was carried out by U.S. intelligence and military personnel.
If Hersh is telling the truth, what he revealed is clearly unacceptable and must be answered for, Mao said.
"The Nord Stream gas pipelines are vital transnational infrastructure. The explosions have had a serious impact on the global energy market and ecological environment," she added.
