EU warns Moscow over European drone threats as Russian strikes hit Kyiv

Russia targets Ukrainian energy sites while EU Commission President von der Leyen warns Moscow following drone incidents in Germany.
Russian forces launched overnight drone attacks on Kyiv, injuring at least one person following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. Russian defense officials also declared a new offensive aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter.
In response, Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian refineries and fuel facilities have disrupted domestic supplies, compelling Moscow to buy petroleum products abroad.
Security concerns expanded to Western Europe following the identification of two suspects with ties to Moscow linked to explosive drone incidents in Leipzig, Germany. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks" on member states' soil and stands prepared to enforce defensive responses.
