Russia launched a campaign against Ukraine's energy grid while the EU warned against foreign security threats following drone incidents in Germany.

Russian military forces have launched a targeted offensive against Ukraine's energy infrastructure alongside renewed overnight drone strikes on Kyiv that injured at least one civilian. The bombardment follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly, where he referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin as "the patient zero who wanted the war."

Simultaneously, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen affirmed that the European Union will not tolerate foreign attacks on its soil. Her remarks followed German authorities identifying two suspects with ties to Moscow linked to explosive drones discovered in Leipzig. Meanwhile, Ukrainian long-range strikes against Russian oil facilities continue to disrupt Moscow's domestic fuel supplies, forcing Russia to rely on fuel imports.
