Kyiv hit by fresh drone strikes as EU warns Moscow over hybrid threats

Russian forces launched a new wave of drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring at least one person shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow's defence ministry confirmed a targeted campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Concurrently, Ukrainian long-range strikes damaged several Russian oil refineries, causing domestic fuel shortages that forced Moscow to purchase petroleum products from abroad.

Security concerns also escalated within the European Union after German investigators linked two suspects to Moscow following explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. Responding to the growing hybrid threats, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning, declaring, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil," and affirmed readiness to respond.
