European Union vows response as Russian strikes target Kyiv and EU security

Russian forces carried out fresh drone attacks against Kyiv overnight, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to the United Nations General Assembly. The bombardment forms part of an escalated military campaign targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Concurrently, Ukrainian counter-strikes on Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to import fuel.

Meanwhile, German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. Addressing security threats within member states, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to react.
