The Battle of Toretsk was an engagement in the Russo-Ukrainian war between the Russian Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine for control of the city of Toretsk and the settlements in the surrounding area, beginning on 18 June 2024. The effort to control the city was part of the renewed effort to capture portions of Donetsk Oblast. By 7 August 2025, after over a year of urban warfare, Russia seized the city, the largest captured since Bakhmut over two years earlier.
