Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces seized Krymske (north of Toretsk) and half of the Toretska mine in northern Toretsk and advanced one and a half kilometers west of Niu York (south of Toretsk), near Leonidivka (southwest of Toretsk), and near Shcherbynivka (west of Toretsk). ISW has not observed confirmation of these claims, however.
