Kyiv targeted by new drone strikes as EU warns Moscow over incidents in Germany

Russian forces launched fresh drone attacks on Kyiv while Brussels pledged a coordinated response following explosive drone incidents linked to Moscow in Germany.
Russian forces launched renewed drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the UN General Assembly. Moscow's Defence Ministry announced a systematic campaign targeting Ukraine's energy grid, while Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries continue to disrupt domestic fuel supplies and force Moscow to seek external imports.
Security concerns also escalated within the European Union as German authorities identified two suspects tied to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. Reacting to the discovery, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen affirmed that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and announced preparations for a coordinated response to hostile acts against member states.
