French police have arrested at least 36 people following clashes with football fans in Lille.
On several occasions police charged crowds of chanting supporters, and red flares were let off amid a tense stand-off with officers.
The clashes followed the conclusion of Russia's match against Slovakia and come ahead of the England and Wales match to be played in nearby Lens later on Thursday.
Around 150 Russians trained to fight were involved in the worst of the fan violence that erupted in Marseille during the opening of Euro 2016, the city's chief prosecutor has said.
Brice Robin told a news conference: "There were 150 Russian supporters who in reality were hooligans. These people were well prepared for ultra-rapid, ultra-violent action. These are extremely well trained people."
Mr Robin said some Russian supporters were turned back on arrival at Marseille's international airport, but that others had arrived overland.
Most of the 35 people who were injured in the fighting were English, the prosecutor said, adding that two Russian nationals were being expelled from the country.
New footage has emerged appearing to show England fans in Lyon being attacked by a gang thought to be so-called "ultras".
Police have called violence at the European Championships in Lille "appalling" and "absolutely vile".
