Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv following Zelenskyy's UN address, while the EU issued warnings over Moscow-linked sabotage attempts in Germany.

Russian forces launched further drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Concurrently, the Russian Defense Ministry declared a new campaign directed at destroying Ukraine's energy network. In response, Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian oil infrastructure have disrupted domestic fuel supplies, compelling Moscow to procure fuel internationally.

Beyond the battlefield, German investigators identified two suspects connected to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. Addressing European security concerns, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen affirmed, "We will not tolerate attacks on EU soil," indicating the bloc's readiness to respond.
