Romania is investigating a possible new drone attack on a tanker located off its Black Sea coast. France 24 reports that suspected Russian drones have hit multiple ships near Romania and Bulgaria since last week, marking a recent spillover from the war in Ukraine.
On Tuesday night, Ukraine reported that unexpected speed limits on the Starlink internet network were disrupting battlefield missions. According to KahawaTungu, the restrictions limited speeds to 100mph (160km/h), causing weapons traveling faster than that to lose connectivity. Elon Musk suggested that the US government controls Starshield, the military-grade version of Starlink, and that any limits on usage or speed are decided by the US military and the president.
An adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky stated he believed the restrictions were related to tensions between Kyiv and Washington. While President Zelensky expressed hope that the connectivity issues were a technical problem, former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov noted on Wednesday evening that the speed had been partially restored.
