Kyiv hit by Russian drones as Von der Leyen warns Moscow over EU sabotage

Russian forces launched an overnight drone barrage targeting Kyiv, injuring a woman, shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the UN General Assembly and called Russian President Vladimir Putin "the patient zero who wanted the war." Russian defense officials confirmed a renewed campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy network. In response, Ukrainian strikes on Russian petroleum facilities have disrupted domestic fuel supplies, prompting Moscow to import petroleum.

Concurrently, European Union leaders warned against alleged Russian intelligence operations inside member states. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to respond. Her remarks followed German investigators identifying two suspects connected to Moscow in relation to explosive drones discovered in Leipzig.
