Novyi Komar (Ukrainian: Новий Комар; Russian: Новый Комар; Urum: Йаны Камара, romanized: Yany Camara) is a village in Velyka Novosilka settlement hromada, Volnovakha Raion, Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It is located 73.02 kilometres (45.37 mi) west by south (WbS) from the centre of Donetsk city.
Geography
[edit]The settlement lies on the right bank of the Mokri Yaly river. The absolute height is 105 metres above sea level.
History
[edit]Russian invasion of Ukraine
[edit]During the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, fighting broke out near the village as part of a Russian offensive in the area in late 2024. Russian sources claimed the village was occupied by Russian forces during fighting between 1 and 2 December.[2]
On December 5, DeepStateMap.Live reported the Ukrainian 48th Separate Assault Battalion to have re-taken control over the village. Like neighbouring Velyka Novosilka, the settlement is strategically important for the defensive lines in Donetsk Oblast.[3]
