Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv after Zelensky's UN speech, while the EU warns Moscow over alleged hybrid attacks in Germany.

Russian forces launched a fresh wave of overnight drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow's defense officials confirmed an intensified military campaign targeting Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter, while Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities have disrupted domestic supplies, forcing Russia to import petrol.

Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" following an investigation in Leipzig, Germany. German authorities identified two suspects with ties to Moscow in connection with explosive drone incidents targeting critical infrastructure, prompting discussions among EU leaders regarding defensive countermeasures against potential hybrid threats.
