Russian forces hit Kyiv following Zelensky's UN speech, while Moscow targets energy grids and Brussels warns over German drone threats.

Russian forces launched fresh drone strikes against Kyiv overnight, injuring a civilian following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, where he described Russian leadership as "the patient zero who wanted the war."

In response, Russia's defense ministry announced a new military campaign specifically targeting Ukraine's energy network. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces expanded long-range aerial strikes against Russian oil facilities, causing domestic fuel supply disruptions in Russia.

In Germany, investigators identified two suspects linked to Moscow after explosive drones were discovered in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning regarding the security incident, stating, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
