Russian forces launched fresh drone attacks against Kyiv as the EU warned Moscow following suspected sabotage incidents in Germany.

Russian forces launched additional drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring at least one person, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Concurrently, Russia's Defense Ministry announced a dedicated military campaign to target Ukraine's energy grid. In response, Kyiv intensified strikes on Russian petroleum facilities, causing fuel shortages that forced Moscow to import oil products.

Security tensions also spread to Western Europe after German investigators identified two suspects connected to Moscow in relation to explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned the alleged sabotage, stating, "We will not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
