===As targets===
Pipelines can be the target of [[vandalism]], [[sabotage]], or even [[terrorist attack]]s. For example, between early 2011 and July 2012, a natural gas pipeline connecting Egypt to Israel and Jordan was attacked 15 times.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.africandefence.net/terrorist-threats-to-energy-infrastructure-in-north-africa/|title=Terrorist threats to energy infrastructure in North Africa|work=African Defence |author=Consultancy Africa Intelligence|access-date=December 11, 2018|date=2014-06-26}}</ref> In 2019, [[Tlahuelilpan pipeline explosion|a fuel pipeline north of Mexico City exploded]] after fuel thieves tapped into the line.

On 26 September 2022, a [[2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage|series of explosions and subsequent major gas leaks]] occurred on the [[Nord Stream 1]] and [[Nord Stream 2]] pipelines that run to Europe from Russia under the Baltic Sea. The leaks are believed to have been caused by an act of sabotage.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-09-26 |title=Sweden and Denmark say Nord Stream pipeline blasts were deliberate attacks |url=https://www.politico.eu/article/gas-leak-detected-near-nord-stream-2/ |access-date=2022-10-13 |website=POLITICO |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-09-27 |title=CIA warned Berlin about possible attacks on gas pipelines in summer – Spiegel |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/cia-warned-berlin-about-possible-attacks-gas-pipelines-summer-spiegel-2022-09-27/ |access-date=2022-10-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Plucinska |first=Joanna |date=2022-10-06 |title=Nord Stream gas 'sabotage': who's being blamed and why? |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/qa-nord-stream-gas-sabotage-whos-being-blamed-why-2022-09-30/ |access-date=2022-10-13}}</ref>
