Russia launched new drone strikes on Kyiv while targeting Ukraine's energy grid, as the EU warned Moscow over drone incidents in Germany.

Russian forces launched fresh overnight drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring at least one person. The strikes followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's speech at the United Nations General Assembly, where he described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero who wanted the war."

Concurrently, the Russian defense ministry declared a new targeted campaign against Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Ukrainian strikes on refineries inside Russia have damaged fuel processing capabilities, forcing Moscow to import refined fuel from foreign markets.

In Germany, authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow over explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a warning, declaring, "We will not tolerate attacks on EU soil," and affirming readiness to respond.
