Kyiv hit by fresh drone strikes as EU warns Moscow over Leipzig incidents

Russian forces launched renewed overnight drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring a civilian, shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the UN General Assembly that Russian President Vladimir Putin was "patient zero who wanted the war".

Moscow announced a new military campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter. In response, Kyiv intensified long-range strikes on Russian petroleum refineries, causing domestic fuel shortages that forced Moscow to import petrol.

Concurrently, European security concerns escalated after German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow following explosive drone incidents near critical infrastructure in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains ready to respond.
