EU warns Russia against hybrid attacks as drone strikes hit Kyiv and Leipzig

Russian forces launched new drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly, in which he referred to Vladimir Putin as "patient zero who wanted the war." The strikes align with an explicit campaign by the Russian Defense Ministry to destroy Ukraine's energy grid before winter, while Ukrainian counter-attacks on Russian refineries have forced Moscow to import fuel.

Simultaneously, security concerns escalated in Europe after German authorities identified two Moscow-linked suspects in connection with explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. Responding to the suspected sabotage, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated, "we do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
