  "summary": "Drones struck several merchant vessels in the Black Sea on October 6. Two ships were hit in Bulgaria's exclusive economic zone. A Russian drone also struck a separate civilian vessel, killing at least one crew member and injuring several others, according to Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper. The vessel, flying the Marshall Islands flag, was carrying rapeseed oil and was damaged in the strike, with a fire breaking out.\n\nThe Governor of Odesa Oblast described the attacks as gross violations of international law that pose a threat to global food security. Ukraine's Third Assault Brigade also destroyed a transport-loader vehicle, a first since the beginning of the war, according to the Ukrainian Women's Guard.\n\nRussian losses to Ukrainian drones have surged in early October, according to Madyar. Despite intensified Russian attacks, a poll found that 62% of Ukrainians are ready to endure the war as long as needed. Poland has announced plans to deploy Patriots near the Ukrainian border as part of a $26 billion civil defense plan.",
