Hirske (Ukrainian: Гірське, pronounced [ɦʲirˈsʲkɛ]; Russian: Горское, romanized: Gorskoye) is a city in Sievierodonetsk Raion, Luhansk Oblast, eastern Ukraine.

[3] In the Imperial Russian administrative system, it was designated as part of Slavyanoserbsk uezd (county) of Yekaterinoslav Governorate.

Maintenance and coal supply was needed to run the draining systems that prevented the mine tunnels from flooding with water.

Additionally, schools were built in Hirsko-Ivanivsk, as well as grocery stores and other business that helped the diversification of industry.

[3] During World War II, Hirske was occupied by Nazi Germany between 17 November 1941 and 3 September 1943.

After the liberation of Hirske, young people were brought in from other parts of the Ukrainian SSR to help revive its economy.

[7] During the summer 2022 battle of Donbas of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces, accompanied by proxy Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) militants, advanced on and heavily shelled Hirske along with the other remaining Ukraine-held localities in Luhansk Oblast.
