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

Russian forces launched fresh drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a female resident, shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the UN General Assembly that Vladimir Putin was "patient zero who wanted the war." The strikes coincide with an explicit Russian Defense Ministry campaign to destroy Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter. In retaliation, Ukrainian drone operations targeted several Russian oil refineries, disrupting domestic supplies and obliging Moscow to purchase fuel abroad.

Meanwhile, European security concerns escalated after authorities identified two Moscow-linked suspects in connection with explosive drone incidents in Leipzig, Germany. Addressing the potential sabotage, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a direct warning, stating, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
