Russian strikes continue to target Kyiv and Ukraine's power grid while the EU issues warnings over Moscow-linked drone incidents in Germany.

Russian forces launched another wave of overnight drone attacks on Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow's defense ministry officially confirmed an ongoing campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of the winter months. In response, Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian petroleum facilities have significantly disrupted refining operations, forcing Moscow to import fuel.

Concurrently, security concerns across Europe escalated after German investigators linked two suspects associated with Moscow to explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. Addressing the escalation, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a direct warning, stating, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
