Russian forces launched fresh drone attacks on Kyiv as Moscow announced a campaign against Ukraine's energy grid, while the EU warned over German sabotage suspects linked to Moscow.

Russian forces executed renewed drone strikes on Kyiv overnight, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly. Moscow's defense ministry subsequently announced a targeting campaign focused on destroying Ukraine's energy network.

Concurrently, ongoing Ukrainian air strikes on Russian oil refineries and fuel facilities have disrupted domestic supplies, compelling Moscow to purchase fuel from abroad.

In Germany, law enforcement identified two suspects with ties to Moscow after finding explosive drones near critical infrastructure in Leipzig. In response, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc will "not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and stands ready to respond to hostile actions.
