Putin's Men Storm Ukraine's Toretsk; Soviet-era Building Cracks After Russian Strike On Sumy

Russia's Defence Ministry claims a major breakthrough in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region with the capture of the strategic mining town of Toretsk. Ukrainian officials have not yet commented on the claim.

If confirmed, this would further Russia's territorial gains in Donetsk. Meanwhile, Russian forces bombarded Ukraine’s Sumy region overnight, killing three civilians and leveling a residential building.
