Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv while the EU warns Moscow against hybrid threats following drone incidents in Germany.

Russian forces launched renewed drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly, labeling Vladimir Putin "patient zero who wanted the war". The assault coincides with Moscow's military campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Simultaneously, Ukrainian strikes on Russian petroleum facilities have forced Moscow to import fuel.

Security alerts have also escalated in Western Europe. German authorities identified two suspects with ties to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and stated the bloc is prepared to react.
