Russian strikes hit Kyiv as EU warns Moscow over Leipzig drone incidents

Russian forces launched fresh drone attacks on Kyiv while EU officials warned Moscow over drone incidents in Leipzig, Germany.
Russian forces executed another wave of overnight drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident and damaging local infrastructure. The intensified bombardments follow Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly, where he strongly condemned Russian aggression.
Moscow confirmed an expanded military effort targeting Ukraine's power grid. In response, Ukrainian long-range strikes against Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic petroleum supplies, prompting Moscow to import refined fuel.
Meanwhile, German authorities identified two suspects tied to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen addressed the escalating hybrid threats, stating, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
