India Today, on Jan 9, 2021 carries the Map Below on 3 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) sightings/captures. 

Looking at the Map is: 

UUV 1. - In March 2019, a UUV was found North of Singapore and East of Malaysia on the approaches to the Strait of Malacca.
 

UUV 2. - The next UUV was found on January 2020 near the Sunda Islands in the central Indonesian Archipelago, and 

UUV 3. - The much reported UUV capture near Selayar Island, Indonesia, was on December 20, 2020.

COMMENT

Most news agencies, and even specialist websites, have provided very geographically incorrect/ignorant and alarmist reports on the multiple UUV sightings. Such UUVs may not necessarily be of Chinese origin. 

Probably the most helpful source is the map above.
