Russian strikes hit Kyiv as EU warns Moscow over hybrid threats

Russian forces conducted overnight drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow subsequently confirmed an organized military campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter. In response, Ukrainian long-range strikes hit Russian fuel facilities, causing domestic supply shortages that forced Moscow to import fuel.

Concurrently, European authorities investigated suspected Russian hybrid operations inside member states. German investigators identified two suspects linked to Moscow after explosive drones were uncovered in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a stern warning, declaring the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to respond.
