EU warns Moscow over drone incidents as Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared the European Union "will not tolerate attacks" on its territory following the identification of two Moscow-linked suspects in connection with explosive drones discovered in Leipzig, Germany.

Simultaneously, Russia's Defense Ministry launched a renewed military campaign specifically targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Overnight drone strikes hit Kyiv, injuring a resident and damaging property. The intensified bombardment followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, in which he referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero" for starting the invasion.

In response, Ukrainian forces escalated air strikes against Russian petroleum refineries, disrupting domestic supplies and driving Moscow to purchase fuel from abroad to meet internal demand.
