Russian strikes hit Kyiv energy grid as EU warns Moscow over drone incidents

Russian forces targeted Kyiv's energy infrastructure while the EU warned Moscow over explosive drone incidents linked to Russia in Germany.
Russian forces launched overnight drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring at least one person, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. Russian defense officials confirmed an intensified military campaign targeting Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter. In response to Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, Moscow has reportedly been forced to import petroleum products to meet domestic demand.
Meanwhile, security concerns inside the European Union mounted after German authorities identified two suspects tied to Moscow in connection with explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks" on member states and warned that defensive responses are prepared.
