The head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group says he has raised a Russian flag over Bakhmut's city hall in Ukraine.
In a video, Yevgeny Prigozhin said Bakhmut was now Russian "in a legal sense,” but he admitted Ukrainian forces were still concentrated in western districts.
Ukraine has insisted its army still holds Bakhmut.
Meanwhile, Russian investigators have detained a woman in the hunt for the killers of a pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky in a blast at a St Petersburg cafe.
