Russian forces launched fresh drone attacks on Kyiv as Moscow targets Ukrainian energy infrastructure, while EU officials investigate Russian-linked sabotage in Germany.

Russian forces launched renewed drone strikes against Kyiv overnight, injuring a civilian as Moscow intensifies its targeting of Ukrainian urban areas and energy infrastructure. The strikes followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, where he strongly criticized Russian leadership.

In response to sustained bombardments, Ukrainian forces have increased long-range drone strikes against oil refineries inside Russia, disrupting local fuel supplies and forcing Moscow to import foreign fuel.

Simultaneously, European officials are addressing security threats within the European Union. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the bloc will not tolerate attacks on European soil after German investigators identified two suspects linked to Moscow in connection with explosive drone incidents near Leipzig.
