Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid as EU warns against security threats

Russian air strikes targeted Kyiv overnight, injuring at least one person following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, where he strongly criticized Moscow's aggression. Russian defense officials confirmed a renewed military focus on disrupting Ukraine's energy network ahead of winter. In response to ongoing Russian offensive operations, Ukrainian forces have expanded drone strikes targeting oil facilities within Russia, contributing to domestic fuel shortages that compelled Moscow to purchase foreign supplies.

Concurrently, European security concerns escalated after German law enforcement in Leipzig identified two suspects with ties to Moscow over an alleged plot involving explosive-laden drones. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned the potential interference, emphasizing that "we do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
