Fresh Russian strikes hit cities across Ukraine on Thursday, officials said, the latest in a wave of attacks that have crippled the country's energy infrastructure as winter sets in and temperatures drop.
Dramatic footage has emerged of a Russian Kalibr cruise missile being intercepted by a Ukrainian surface-to-air missile over Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital.

In one of the cellphone videos shot by witnesses, a missile is seen flying low over homes and exploding suddenly as it is intercepted. This is believed to be one of two missiles intercepted in short succession today.
Another video posted on Reddit appeared to show the second incident.
