Smoke rises north of Bakhmut close to Soledar, eastern Ukraine, where heavy fighting is taking place as Russian forces try to capture the town. The defence of the village of Paraskoviivka, located north of Bakhmut, is "very strong", according to a senior sergeant who warns that "there can be an operational encirclement of Bakhmut" if the Russian forces take the village and block the road to the town.
Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister, Ganna Malyar, says the country's forces are fighting to retain control of Soledar, a town in the eastern Donetsk region, but the situation remains "difficult". Malyar describes the battle as "the fiercest and heaviest fighting" and says that Russian forces are "suffering heavy losses".
