EU warns Moscow over alleged drone plot as strikes target Ukrainian energy grid

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the European Union will not tolerate hostile operations on its territory following an alleged explosive drone plot in Leipzig, Germany. German authorities identified two suspects connected to Moscow in relation to the incident.

The security alert coincides with an intensification of military operations. Russian defense officials confirmed a new campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, executing fresh overnight drone attacks against Kyiv that injured at least one civilian. The bombardment followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's speech at the United Nations General Assembly, during which he sharply condemned Russian leadership. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces expanded long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries, compounding domestic fuel shortages within Russia.
