Kyiv targeted in fresh strikes as EU warns Moscow over Leipzig drone incident

Russian forces launched overnight drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring a civilian in the wake of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Russian defense officials simultaneously announced a concerted campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

In response to sustained hostilities, Ukrainian forces escalated long-range drone attacks against Russian petroleum facilities and refineries, triggering domestic fuel shortages inside Russia. Meanwhile, German investigators in Leipzig identified two suspects with ties to Moscow after discovering explosive-laden drones, prompting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to issue a stern warning regarding European security. Von der Leyen stated, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
