Russian forces targeted Kyiv with drone strikes following Zelensky's UN speech, while the EU warned against hybrid threats over a drone incident in Leipzig.

Russian forces launched overnight drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring a woman, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly. Moscow’s defense ministry subsequently announced a renewed campaign targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian oil facilities disrupted domestic fuel production, forcing Moscow to import refined fuel from abroad.

Meanwhile, European Union officials warned of rising hybrid threats after German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow regarding explosive drones in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated, "We will not tolerate attacks on EU soil," adding that the bloc is prepared to counter foreign interference.
