+A loop keyword (`break` or `continue`) was used outside of a loop.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0268
+fn some_func() {
+    break; // error: `break` outside of a loop
+}
+```
+
+Without a loop to break out of or continue in, no sensible action can be taken.
+Please verify that you are using `break` and `continue` only in loops. Example:
+
+```
+fn some_func() {
+    for _ in 0..10 {
+        break; // ok!
+    }
+}
+```
