Russia targets Ukrainian energy infrastructure while the EU issues warnings to Moscow over explosive drones found in Germany.

Russia's defense ministry has announced a targeted campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure, alongside renewed overnight drone strikes on Kyiv that injured a civilian. The intensified aerial assaults followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly, where he strongly criticized Russian leadership.

In response, Ukraine has escalated long-range drone attacks against Russian oil refineries and fuel facilities, disrupting local supply and forcing Moscow to import fuel from abroad.

Meanwhile, security concerns expanded into Western Europe after German authorities identified two Moscow-linked suspects in connection with explosive drones discovered in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen cautioned that the European Union will not tolerate hostile operations on its soil, signaling potential countermeasures against foreign acts of sabotage.
