EU warns Moscow following drone incidents near German infrastructure

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen warned that the bloc will not tolerate attacks on its soil after explosive drones were discovered near German infrastructure.
Moscow has launched a renewed campaign against Ukraine's energy grid following Russian drone strikes on Kyiv that injured a resident. The strikes occurred shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the UN General Assembly.
Concurrently, Ukrainian air strikes on Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic fuel supplies, compelling Moscow to purchase fuel from abroad. In Germany, authorities identified two suspects with ties to Moscow after explosive drones were discovered near critical infrastructure in Leipzig. In response, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated the bloc will "not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to respond to hostile actions.
