Russian strikes hit Kyiv following Zelensky's UN speech, while the EU warns Moscow against sabotage after explosive drones were linked to Russian operatives in Germany.

Russian forces launched additional drone attacks against Kyiv following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. The strikes damaged residential areas, injuring at least one person, as Moscow confirmed an orchestrated campaign aimed at disabling Ukraine's power grid before winter.

In response, Ukrainian strikes targeted Russian petroleum facilities, disrupting domestic energy supplies and compelling Moscow to procure foreign fuel. Simultaneously, European leaders addressed suspected Russian hybrid operations within the European Union. Following a German investigation that tied two suspects to explosive drones found in Leipzig, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and warned of potential countermeasures.
