European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned against attacks on EU soil as Russia launched new strikes on Kyiv and Ukraine targeted Russian refineries.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated the European Union "will not tolerate attacks" on its territory following the identification of two suspects linked to Moscow in connection with explosive drones found in Leipzig, Germany.

Concurrently, Moscow has initiated a fresh campaign targeting Ukraine's energy grid. Overnight Russian drone strikes struck Kyiv, injuring at least one resident. This escalation follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, where he labeled Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero" for initiating the conflict.

In response, Ukraine escalated its own strikes on Russian petroleum facilities. These attacks disrupted fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to import fuel to satisfy internal demand.
