EU warns Moscow over German sabotage as Russian drones strike Kyiv
Russian forces hit Kyiv with drones as the EU promises action after German authorities linked Moscow to explosive drones in Leipzig.
Russian forces launched renewed drone strikes targeting Kyiv following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly. The overnight attack injured at least one civilian as Moscow confirmed an intensified military campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter. In response to long-range Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, Moscow has experienced domestic fuel shortages, prompting petrol imports.
Meanwhile, European security concerns escalated after German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow regarding explosive drones found near critical infrastructure in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and indicated readiness to respond.
