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

Russian forces have sustained overnight drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring at least one person and escalating tensions following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the UN General Assembly. Moscow's defense ministry confirmed a renewed offensive targeting Ukraine's energy network ahead of the winter season.

In response, Ukrainian forces targeted Russian fuel depots and oil refineries with long-range drone strikes, disrupting domestic petroleum production and compelling Russia to source fuel from abroad.

Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains "ready to respond." Her statement follows German authorities identifying two Moscow-linked suspects in connection with an explosive drone plot discovered in Leipzig.
