Russian forces targeted Kyiv with overnight drone strikes while European leaders issued warnings following sabotage attempts in Germany.

Russian forces executed a new wave of overnight drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address at the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow’s defense ministry formally announced a targeted campaign against Ukraine’s energy grid ahead of winter. In response to continuous bombardments, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian petroleum facilities have disrupted refining capacity, forcing Moscow to import fuel.

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