Drone strikes hit Kyiv as Russia targets Ukraine's energy infrastructure
Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv after Zelensky's UN speech, as Moscow launches a campaign against Ukraine's energy grid and faces sabotage probes in Germany.
Russian forces carried out fresh overnight drone attacks on Kyiv, injuring one resident, shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the UN General Assembly. Moscow's defense ministry announced a renewed campaign specifically targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil facilities continue to disrupt local fuel supplies, prompting Moscow to procure foreign fuel.
In Germany, authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow following the discovery of explosive drones near critical infrastructure in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated the bloc will "not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to respond.
