Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv after Volodymyr Zelensky's UN speech, while the EU warns Moscow following a drone plot investigation in Germany.

Russian forces carried out fresh overnight drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the UN General Assembly. During his speech, Zelensky described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero" of the conflict.

The strikes coincide with Moscow's newly announced offensive targeting Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter. In response, Ukrainian air strikes on Russian refineries have disrupted local production, forcing Moscow to import foreign fuel.

Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and stands ready to respond. Her comments follow a German investigation into explosive drones discovered in Leipzig that linked two suspects to Moscow.
