New video reveals devastation in frontline Toretsk under relentless Russian shelling

It shows multi-story apartment buildings and private houses flattened to the ground, and captures explosions after glide bombs hit.

“This is what the city looks like now. This is what the ‘Russian world’ is bringing to our land,” the comment to the video says, noting that the Ukrainian infantry, artillery, tank forces, and intelligence are working to their limits day and night to repel enemy attacks and prevent the seizure of key streets in the town.

This follows a recent report by the Ukrainian General Staff of a significant intensification of the offensive by Russian forces in the Toretsk sector.

On July 4, analysts from the DeepState monitoring group reported that Russian forces had seized several locations in Donetsk Oblast, including Sokil and Voskhod, and had made advances in Sotnytskyi Kozachok, Pivdenne, and near the towns of Druzhba, Yevhenivka, and Novopokrovske.
