Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid following fresh Kyiv drone strikes

Russia's Defense Ministry announced a new campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, following overnight drone strikes on Kyiv that injured a civilian. The bombardment came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the United Nations General Assembly that Vladimir Putin was the "patient zero who wanted the war." In response, Ukrainian forces intensified long-range attacks on oil refineries inside Russia, disrupting local fuel supplies. Concurrently, European Union leaders reaffirmed that threats on European soil would not be tolerated after German authorities identified two Moscow-linked suspects involved in explosive drone incidents near Leipzig.
