A further 2 vessels have been attacked by suspected Russian UAVs/USVs this morning, bringing the total this month to 5 vessels.

The update quoted an October 6 post from @DefenceGeek that provided the earlier context:

3 cargo ships have reportedly been attacked in the last ~24hrs inside Romania and Bulgaria's Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) in the Black Sea. 2 ships have reportedly been sunk with at least 2 dead, per @euronews.

Bulgaria's Prime Minister will issue a statement this morning.
