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

Russian forces launched fresh drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. In his speech, Zelensky described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero who wanted the war." The attacks coincide with an announcement from the Russian Defense Ministry regarding an intensified campaign targeting Ukraine's energy grid. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have disrupted local fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to import petrol.

Concurrently, European security concerns escalated after German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow over explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered a firm warning, declaring, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
