European leaders issue warnings against hostile actions on EU territory while Russian strikes hit Kyiv and Ukraine targets Russian fuel infrastructure.

Russian forces have launched further drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a civilian following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. The raids coincide with a renewed campaign by Moscow's defense ministry specifically aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, retaliatory Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil facilities have caused domestic fuel shortages in Russia, forcing Moscow to import petroleum products.

In Europe, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and stands ready to react. Her remarks follow German inquiries into explosive drone incidents in Leipzig, where authorities identified two suspects associated with Moscow.
