Kyiv targeted by Russian drones following Zelensky's UN address

Russian forces launched fresh drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a civilian, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly where he sharply criticized Moscow. The attack coincided with an explicit announcement from Russia's defence ministry outlining a renewed campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Concurrently, intensified Ukrainian air strikes against Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic supplies inside Russia, forcing Moscow to import fuel from abroad to mitigate shortages.

Tensions also expanded into European Union territory as German authorities identified two suspects tied to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. Reacting to the developments, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and warned that Brussels remains prepared to respond.
