Drone strikes hit Kyiv as Russia targets Ukraine's energy network

Russian forces carried out overnight drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring a woman as aerial attacks on the Ukrainian capital escalated. The bombardment followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, where he described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero who wanted the war."

In response, Moscow announced a new military campaign specifically aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Concurrently, Ukrainian long-range strikes targeted Russian oil refineries, causing processing disruptions that forced Russia to import fuel.

In Germany, authorities identified two suspects tied to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning, stating, "We will not tolerate attacks on EU soil," and emphasized the bloc's readiness to respond to security threats.
