German public broadcaster; broke the story alongside Sueddeutsche Zeitung and Die Zeit

ARD was among the three German outlets (ARD, SZ, Die Zeit) that simultaneously published the first reports on July 1 that Germany's Federal Prosecutor General had served an indictment against 'Serhii K,' a Ukrainian national. ARD's reporting named him as a former special forces officer who served as on-board coordinator aboard the sailing yacht Andromeda and coordinated the dive team that planted the charges on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines near Bornholm island in September 2022.

“Prosecutors charge 'Serhii K' with attacking civilian energy infrastructure; the indictment identifies him as team leader on the yacht Andromeda, which investigators say carried the divers and explosives.”
