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

The settlement lies on the right bank of the Mokri Yaly river. The absolute height is 105 metres above sea level.

History

Russian invasion of Ukraine

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]

On December 19, a Ukrainian military observer said that Russian forces had recaptured the village.[4]

Demographics

As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the settlement had 534 inhabitants, whose native languages were 8.80% Ukrainian and 89.89% Russian.[1]
