In the Toretsk sector, Ukrainian attack drones targeted houses where groups of invaders were hiding. The drone operators from the VORON unit of the 100th Separate Mechanized Brigade conducted the combat operation. The unit stated, “Our drones ruthlessly destroy shelters and eliminate the invader’s manpower.” Russian invaders attempted to hide in houses located in Zalizne and Pivnichne, near Toretsk. Ukrainian military monitored the movements of the invaders using reconnaissance drones.

On August 12, the Ukrainian General Staff reported that the enemy, supported by aviation, carried out eight attacks in the Toretsk sector. The Russians focused their efforts in the areas of Zalizne, Druzhba, and New York. The Toretsk sector, comprised of Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and Ocheretyne, plays a critical role for both sides in the conflict. Capturing these positions would allow the Russians to advance towards Kostiantynivka. Additionally, the city of Pokrovsk holds strategic importance for Ukraine and Russia. The paratroopers of the 46th Airborne Brigade previously repelled a Russian attempt to storm Ukrainian positions in the Mariinka sector.
