Gas prices in Europe have jumped by 9%, after Russia cut supplies to less than a fifth of a major pipeline's capacity.

Energy firm Gazprom's blamed it on technical issues, but the EU thinks Moscow's retaliating to sanctions.

The move is even pushing up prices in countries which don't have a direct link.
