Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid as EU warns against hybrid attacks

Russian forces initiated fresh overnight drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring a resident as attacks escalated following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Concurrently, Moscow's Defence Ministry formally announced a campaign targeting Ukraine's energy network ahead of winter. In response, Ukrainian long-range drone raids against Russian oil facilities have disrupted domestic refining output, compelling Moscow to import fuel.

Meanwhile, security concerns in Western Europe intensified after German investigators identified two suspects linked to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. Addressing the discovery, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning: "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
