Russia has been carrying out intense attacks in multiple sections of the eastern front, including in Donetsk Oblast, since it captured the city of Avdiivka in February. Earlier in July, Ukrainian troops withdrew from the Kanal neighborhood of the region's embattled town of Chasiv Yar.

Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said on July 2 that fighting had been particularly intense in recent weeks around the town of Toretsk, located some 25 kilometers (15 miles) south of Chasiv Yar.
