Russia targets Kyiv and energy grid as EU warns against hybrid threats

Russian forces launched fresh drone attacks on Kyiv overnight, injuring at least one person, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly where he sharply criticized Moscow. The strikes align with a newly announced Russian military campaign explicitly aimed at devastating Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter.

In response to the bombardment, Ukrainian forces have intensified long-range strikes against Russian petroleum refineries and fuel storage facilities, disrupting domestic production and forcing Moscow to import fuel. Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reiterated that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" following the identification of two Moscow-linked suspects in an explosive drone plot in Leipzig, Germany.
