Russian forces launched drone strikes on Kyiv while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned Moscow against hybrid threats on EU soil following incident in Leipzig.

Russian forces launched fresh overnight drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring a woman in the capital. The escalated bombardment followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, where he strongly criticized Russian leadership. Russian defense officials confirmed a military campaign specifically targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. In response, Ukrainian forces intensified long-range drone strikes on Russian petroleum facilities, straining domestic fuel supplies and forcing Moscow to import refined fuel.

Meanwhile, European Union leadership raised concerns over hybrid warfare after German authorities linked two suspects tied to Moscow to explosive drones discovered in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and affirmed readiness to react against foreign interference.
