Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid as EU warns against hybrid attacks

Russian forces launched renewed drone attacks against Kyiv overnight, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow's Defence Ministry explicitly announced a new offensive aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter. In response, Ukrainian drone raids targeting Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic refining capacity, forcing Russia to import fuel.

Meanwhile, security concerns in Western Europe intensified after German investigators identified two Moscow-linked suspects in connection with explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. Reacting to the discovery, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that "we do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
