Krasnohorivka (Ukrainian: Красногорівка, IPA: [krɐsnoˈɦɔr⁽ʲ⁾iu̯kɐ]; Russian: Красногоровка, romanized: Krasnogorovka) is a city in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine.
[citation needed] Starting mid-April 2014 pro-Russian separatists captured several towns in Donetsk Oblast;[1][2] including Krasnohorivka.
[6][7][8][9][10] On 3 June 2015, fresh violence returned to the city as pro-Russian rebels launched an offensive there, involving 1,000 troops, tanks and heavy artillery.
Video footage reportedly showed outgoing artillery fire originating in residential areas in Donetsk held by the rebels, directed at Ukrainian government positions, a claimed violation of both the Minsk II agreement and Geneva Conventions.
[13] By 8 April 2024, Russian forces had entered the southeastern part of the city and fighting began over control over Krasnohorivka.
