EU vows response to hybrid threats as Russian strikes target Kyiv energy grid

Russian forces launched additional overnight drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring at least one person shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow's defense officials confirmed a renewed campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter, while Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian oil facilities have caused fuel shortages and forced Russia to import petrol.

Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" following an investigation in Leipzig, Germany. German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow over explosive drone incidents at critical infrastructure, raising concerns over hybrid threats across Europe.
