State news agency RIA cited the Russian-installed head of Donetsk region, Denis Pushilin, as saying that fighting was taking place inside Vuhledar, which had a pre-war population of 14,000. "Our defenders are trying to knock them out. The town has not been captured," he said in televised comments. Russian forces in eastern Ukraine advanced at their fastest rate in two years in August, even though a Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk region sought to force Moscow to divert troops.
