Moscow intensifies strikes on Ukraine's energy grid while the EU warns Russia against hybrid attacks following drone discoveries in Germany.

Russian forces launched overnight drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly. Moscow subsequently confirmed an organized military campaign targeting Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter. In response, Ukrainian long-range strikes hit Russian fuel facilities, causing domestic supply disruptions that forced Moscow to procure foreign fuel.

Concurrently, European authorities investigated suspected Russian hybrid operations within member states. After German officials linked two suspects to explosive drones discovered in Leipzig, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning, stating the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to respond.
