Russian forces hit Kyiv with drones while EU leadership warned Moscow after explosive devices were uncovered in Germany.

Russian forces launched another overnight drone attack on Kyiv, injuring a woman, shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly. Russian defense officials confirmed a new offensive targeting Ukraine's energy network ahead of winter. In response, Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries have disrupted fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to import petroleum.

Meanwhile, European Union leadership expressed alarm over alleged Russian sabotage within member states. German investigators identified two suspects linked to Moscow following the discovery of explosive drones in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to respond.
