Heavy urban fighting rages in Toretsk, Russian forces gather reserves on Siversk front

Heavy urban fighting is continuing in the city of Toretsk in Donetsk Oblast, and Russia is gathering reserves of personnel and equipment on the Siversk front. Source: Anastasiia Bobovnikova, spokesperson for the Luhansk Operational and Tactical Group of Ukrainian forces, on the national joint 24/7 newscast Quote: "Active urban fighting is raging in Toretsk.

Urban battles are always challenging. Even though the equipment isn't used in such battles... it's still hard and dirty work. Just so you understand, we take out up to a hundred enemies in one day in Toretsk alone.

So imagine how large these battles are and how hard they are for us."

Details: Bobovnikova explained that Russian forces are launching attacks in small assault groups on the Toretsk front, where intense urban combat is underway. Additionally, the Russians are carrying out numerous airstrikes in the area under the responsibility of the Luhansk Operational and Tactical Group. The spokeswoman added that Russia is gathering equipment and personnel in the area of the war-torn city of Chasiv Yar and on the Siversk front.

Quote: "The enemy is not active there, compared to other areas, such as Toretsk, for example, but we see that they're gathering equipment, preparing it... mounting (electronic warfare) protection.

And, naturally, they're amassing personnel because Chasiv Yar is a city, and there will be city battles again, as well as cannon fodder assaults.

Similarly, they're also gathering personnel on the Siversk front and are now attacking mainly with small assault groups."
