Russia has launched new drone attacks on Kyiv and announced a campaign targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure, prompting EU warnings following incidents in Germany.

Russian forces launched a fresh wave of drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring a civilian following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. The raids coincide with a formal campaign by Moscow's defense ministry specifically targeting Ukraine's energy grid.

Concurrently, retaliatory Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil infrastructure have triggered domestic fuel shortages inside Russia, forcing Moscow to import petroleum products.

Amid escalating tensions, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to respond. Her statement follows German inquiries into explosive drone incidents in Leipzig, where authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow.
