Kyiv targeted by Russian drones following Zelensky UN address

Russian forces initiated new overnight drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring a woman and damaging urban areas. The assault followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly, where he strongly criticized Moscow’s leadership. Concurrently, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced a renewed military campaign specifically targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

In response, Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil facilities have caused fuel shortages, prompting Moscow to seek refined petrol imports. Meanwhile, European officials raised concerns over hybrid threats within the bloc. German investigators identified two suspects connected to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. Reacting to the events, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
