EU promises response to Moscow-linked drone incidents as Kyiv faces fresh strikes

Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv following Zelensky's UN speech, while European Commission President Von der Leyen warns Moscow over explosive drone incidents in Germany.
Russian forces executed additional overnight drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring at least one resident, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow's defense ministry declared an intensified campaign specifically targeting Ukraine's power infrastructure. In response, Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil facilities have disrupted local fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to source petrol internationally.
Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" after German investigators identified two suspects tied to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. European officials are now coordinating measures to address potential hybrid threats across member states.
