Russia intensified strikes on Kyiv's energy grid while the EU vowed action over German drone incidents linked to Moscow.

Russian forces launched a fresh wave of drone attacks against Kyiv overnight, injuring at least one civilian following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly. Moscow's defense ministry confirmed an intensified military campaign aimed at disabling Ukraine's power infrastructure ahead of winter. In response, Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian oil refineries have disrupted local fuel supplies, forcing Russia to import petrol.

Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" after German authorities identified two suspects tied to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. Von der Leyen indicated that member states are formulating a coordinated response to counter hybrid threats and hostile activities within the bloc.
