Kyiv targeted in overnight drone raids as Russia launches energy infrastructure campaign

Russian forces launched renewed drone strikes against Kyiv overnight, injuring at least one resident, following Moscow's announcement of a targeted campaign against Ukraine's energy grid. The bombardment occurred shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly, condemning Russian leadership for initiating the conflict.

Concurrently, intensified Ukrainian long-range strikes against Russian oil refineries have disrupted fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to import petroleum from abroad. The escalation comes alongside security developments in Germany, where authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow in connection with explosive drones found in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen responded by declaring that the European Union will not tolerate attacks on its soil.
