<p>A series of loud explosions could be heard in Kyiv at around 3am and the city’s air defences were activated for the second time this week.</p>
<p>Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 10 ballistic missiles toward the capital and all were intercepted by air defences.</p>
<p>However, debris from intercepted missiles fell in the eastern Dniprovskyi district, injuring at least 53 people, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Kitschko said on Telegram.</p>
<p>Some 20 people including two children were admitted to hospital while 33 people received medical treatment on the spot.</p>
<p>An apartment building, a house and several cars caught fire, while the windows of a children’s hospital were shattered, Mr Klitschko said.</p>
<p>Falling rocket debris also damaged the water supply system in the district.</p>
<p>It was not immediately clear what type of missile was used in the attack.</p>
<p>In other parts of Ukraine, 10 Russian drones were shot down, most of them in the Odesa region, the Ukrainian air force said.</p>
<p>The attack on the capital underscored the continuing threat to Ukraine from the Kremlin’s missile arsenal in the 21-month war.</p>
<p>In recent months, Russia has been stockpiling its air-launched cruise missiles from its heavy bomber fleet, according to a recent assessment by the UK Ministry of Defence.</p>
<p>That may herald another heavy winter bombardment of Ukraine’s power grid.</p>
<p>Last year, Moscow targeted energy infrastructure in an effort to deny Ukrainians heat, light and running water and break their fighting spirit.</p>
<p>Ukraine has dwindling supplies of air defence munitions and other ammunition, which prompted Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy to visit Washington for a meeting with US president, Joe Biden. His trip accomplished no breakthrough.</p>
<p>Mr Zelenskiy said on Telegram on Wednesday that he and Mr Biden agreed to work on increasing the number of air defence systems in Ukraine.</p>
<p>“The terrorist state has just demonstrated how crucial this decision is,” Mr Zelenskiy said, referring to the overnight strikes.</p>
<p>The Ukrainian president on met with Nordic leaders in Oslo who feel the potential threat from nearby Russia and are among Kyiv’s staunchest supporters.</p>
<p>“Russia is eager to exploit divisions,” the senior leaders from Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Finland and Sweden said in a joint statement. “We must continue to stand united against Russia’s illegal and immoral war.”</p>
<p>They vowed “comprehensive assistance” for Ukraine.</p>
<p>“Now is not the time to tire,” the Nordic leaders said, amid signs of war fatigue among Kyiv’s foreign supporters.</p>
<p>“We are in a critical phase where Europe must continue to show its support,” Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement.</p>
