Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv while Moscow targets Ukraine's energy grid, as the EU warns against attacks on European soil following a drone probe in Leipzig.

Russian forces have launched further drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Concurrently, Moscow's defense ministry announced a military campaign specifically targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter.

In response, Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities have disrupted local fuel supplies, compelling Moscow to import petroleum products. Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and stands ready to respond. Her statement follows a German investigation into explosive drones discovered in Leipzig, which identified two suspects with ties to Moscow.
