Kyiv targeted by new Russian drone strikes as energy infrastructure campaign begins

Russian forces launched overnight drone attacks targeting Kyiv, injuring at least one civilian. The strikes followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly, where he labeled Moscow's leadership as "the patient zero who wanted the war."

In response to ongoing hostilities, Russia's defense ministry announced a new offensive aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Concurrently, Ukrainian forces intensified long-range drone strikes on Russian refineries and petroleum facilities, leading to domestic fuel shortages in Russia.

Separately, German authorities in Leipzig identified two suspects with ties to Moscow following the discovery of explosive drones. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned the incident, warning, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
