Russian strikes targeted Kyiv while Ukraine hit Russian oil facilities, as European leaders warned Moscow over alleged sabotage plots in Germany.

Russian forces executed overnight drone strikes across Kyiv, injuring a civilian following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to the United Nations General Assembly. Russian defense officials simultaneously announced a targeted military campaign aimed at disabling Ukraine's energy grid.

To counter Russian hostilities, Ukrainian forces increased long-range drone strikes on oil refineries inside Russia, forcing Moscow to import fuel abroad to address domestic deficits. Meanwhile, German authorities in Leipzig identified two suspects connected to Moscow after discovering explosive-laden drones. Responding to the incident, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning, stating, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
