Russian strikes hit Kyiv as Moscow targets Ukraine's energy network
Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv after Zelensky's UN speech, as Moscow launches an energy grid campaign and the EU warns against attacks on its soil.
Russian forces launched renewed drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Russian defense officials confirmed a deliberate campaign directed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Concurrently, Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries continue to disrupt domestic fuel supplies, prompting Moscow to procure fuel internationally.
In Germany, investigators identified two suspects connected to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged a firm response to security threats, stating the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and stands ready to react.
