Torske (Ukrainian: Торське; Russian: Торское) is a village in Kramatorsk Raion in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine.
History
Russian invasion of Ukraine
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the settlement came under attack, and was captured by Russian forces in late-April 2022.[2] During Ukraine's 2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive, which extended into parts of the northern Donetsk oblast, Ukrainian troops recaptured the settlement from Russian and DPR forces in early-October.[3]
The settlement was later attacked on several occasions by Russian forces in December 2022, but has remained under Ukrainian control as of January 2025.[4][5][6]
On the 23rd of July, Russian forces claimed to have taken the town of Torske, in addition to the towns of Pankivka and Volodymyrivka northeast of Pokrovsk.
On the 13th of August, ~90% of the village was under Russian occupation.
