Ursula von der Leyen warned the EU is ready to respond after drone incidents in Germany were linked to Moscow, while Russian strikes continue across Kyiv.

Russian military forces have launched a targeted campaign against Ukraine's energy infrastructure while maintaining persistent drone strikes on Kyiv. The intensified aerial assault on the capital followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly, in which he sharply criticized Moscow. In response, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian petroleum facilities have disrupted local fuel supplies, forcing Russia to import fuel from foreign markets.

Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning regarding European Union security, stating the bloc would not tolerate attacks on its soil and was "ready to respond." Her statement came as German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow in connection with explosive drone incidents near Leipzig.
