EU issues warning over Leipzig drone plot as Russian strikes hit Kyiv

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared the European Union "will not tolerate attacks" on its territory following the identification of two Moscow-linked suspects concerning explosive drones in Leipzig. The diplomatic escalation coincides with a fresh campaign announced by Moscow targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Overnight Russian drone strikes on Kyiv injured a resident, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's speech to the United Nations General Assembly where he labelled Vladimir Putin "patient zero" of the war. Concurrently, Ukraine intensified long-range strikes against Russian petroleum facilities, damaging infrastructure and forcing Moscow to import foreign fuel to meet domestic demand.
