Russian troops have entered the eastern outskirts of Toretsk in the Donetsk region, and fierce fighting continues.

Anastasia Bobovnikova, spokesperson for the Luhansk Operational Tactical Group: "The situation on the Toretsk front remains the most acute, with fighting taking place in Toretsk itself. The situation is volatile, with fighting literally for every entry point… The Russians have reached the eastern outskirts of the city and have advanced slightly along Central Street toward the Central mine. But the situation is constantly changing—sometimes we're recapturing their firing positions, sometimes they're destroying ours, but we're constantly recapturing them and trying to retake them."
