Torske (Ukrainian: Торське; Russian: Торское) is a village in Kramatorsk Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at about 112.3 kilometres (69.8 mi) north by east (NbE) of the centre of Donetsk city, at about 11.9 kilometres (7.4 mi) east by north (EbN) of Lyman, on the eastern border of Zarichne. It belongs to Lyman urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the settlement came under attack, and was captured by Russian forces in late-April.[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 the same year, but has remained under Ukrainian control as of January 2025.[4][5][6]
