KYIV, Ukraine—Russia struck Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, with missiles early on June 5 for the first time in more than a month, while Ukrainian officials said a counterattack on the main battlefield in the east had retaken half of the city of Sievierodonetsk.
Dark smoke could be seen from many miles after the attack on two outlying districts of Kyiv. Ukraine said the strike hit a rail car repair facility; Moscow said it had destroyed tanks sent by Eastern European countries to Ukraine.
