Russian forces hit Kyiv with drones as Moscow targets Ukrainian energy infrastructure, while the EU warns against Russian sabotage following an investigation in Germany.

Russian forces launched a new wave of drone strikes against Kyiv overnight, injuring a civilian following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations. Russian defense officials confirmed an intensified campaign specifically targeting Ukraine's energy network. In response, Ukrainian long-range strikes have struck petroleum infrastructure within Russia, straining domestic fuel supplies.

Simultaneously, European Union officials raised alarms over hybrid threats after German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow regarding explosive drones found in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reacted firmly to the findings, stating that the EU "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to act against state-sponsored disruption.
