Kyiv targeted by drone raids as EU warns Moscow over Leipzig sabotage

Russian forces launched fresh overnight drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring a civilian following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly, where he described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero who wanted the war".

Concurrently, Moscow announced a military campaign targeting Ukraine's power grid ahead of winter. In response, Kyiv intensified long-range strikes against Russian oil facilities, causing domestic shortages that compelled Moscow to import petrol.

Meanwhile, European security concerns mounted after German authorities identified two suspects connected to Moscow following explosive drone incidents near critical infrastructure in Leipzig. Reacting to the development, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and warned that the bloc is prepared to respond.
