Ukrainian paratroopers in the Toretsk sector successfully eliminated a group of Russian assaultmen. The assault was carried out by militants from the “Veterans” unit, which is composed of residents from the so-called “DPR.” The paratroopers engaged a tank to neutralize the militants who were attempting to gain control of houses in the area. The tank crew single-handedly destroyed the assault group that had taken refuge in one of the houses. In addition to tanks, the Ukrainian paratroopers are actively employing artillery and attack drones to eliminate Russian infantry in the region. The situation in the Toretsk sector remains highly volatile, with ongoing assaults from the captured Yurivka towards New York and Toretsk, as well as towards Pivnichne and Pivdenne to the north.

The city of Toretsk, located in the Donetsk region, holds strategic importance as it allows the Ukrainian Armed Forces to maintain fire control over the Horlivka agglomeration. Despite an official count of 4,500 residents remaining in Toretsk, more people are willingly evacuating due to increased Russian shelling. In April, the 95th Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces received new 120mm mortars from philanthropists to enhance their capabilities in the conflict. The situation in the Toretsk sector is continuously evolving and remains a focal point of the ongoing conflict.
