Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid as European Union warns Moscow over drone incidents
Russia launched targeted strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and Kyiv as European officials warned Moscow over drone threats near German infrastructure.
Russia has announced a targeted campaign against Ukraine's energy network alongside fresh drone strikes on Kyiv that injured a resident. The escalated bombardment followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly.
Ukraine intensified counter-strikes on Russian oil refineries, disrupting local fuel supplies and forcing Moscow to purchase fuel from abroad.
Meanwhile, European authorities in Leipzig identified two suspects linked to Moscow after discovering explosive drones near key infrastructure. Responding to the security incident, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the bloc will "not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and is prepared to respond.
