The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully repelled an attempted breakthrough by Russian troops to one of the settlements in the Toretsk sector.
There have been 76 combat engagements on the front lines in Ukraine since the beginning of the day. The enemy is most active in the Pokrovsk and Toretsk sectors, where 48 combat engagements have taken place since the beginning of the day.
The city of Toretsk in the Donetsk region remains a Ukrainian city as Ukrainian forces managed to thwart the enemy's plans to advance into the territory of the community.
The situation around Toretsk has not undergone significant changes as fighting continues on the outskirts of the city. Russian occupation forces are making efforts to take the city under their control, but the Defense Forces are repelling enemy assaults.
The Russian military command may intend to leverage the ongoing Toretsk push to create operational opportunities for advances in either the Chasiv Yar or Avdiivka areas.
Over the past three days, 711 residents, including 20 children, have been evacuated from the Toretsk community in the Donetsk region. About 5,000 residents still remain in Toretsk.
Russian troops have fired artillery at a residential building in the city of Toretsk, Donetsk region, killing at least one civilian and wounding two others.
