Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv as Moscow targets Ukrainian energy infrastructure

Russian forces have launched a new wave of drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring a civilian in the capital shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the UN General Assembly.

The strike follows an announcement from the Russian Ministry of Defence launching a renewed military campaign specifically aimed at devastating Ukraine's energy infrastructure. In response, Ukrainian forces have intensified long-range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries and fuel depots, causing domestic supply shortages that have forced Moscow to purchase fuel from foreign markets.

Separately, European Union leaders reaffirmed that hostiles acts on EU soil would not be tolerated, following a German investigation into explosive drone incidents in Leipzig involving suspects allegedly linked to Moscow.
