INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

BRUSSELS, Oct 6 (Reuters) - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday that attacks on civilian shipping are unacceptable after civilian ships were hit in Bulgaria's economic zone in the Black Sea. "Commercial ships – and innocent crews – are being targeted, with lives already lost at sea," she said. While the circumstances of the incidents are being investigated, the situation in the Black Sea is increasingly concerning, von der Leyen added.
