🇷🇺 Novoshakhtinsk (Новоша́хтинск) is a mining city in Rostov Oblast, Russia, within 20 km of the Dovzhansky border crossing to Ukraine.
History It was established in 1939. During the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine, an oil refinery in the city was damaged and set ablaze in a targeted strike by a Ukrainian Mugin-5 Pro drone. Russian state media outlet TASS reported no casualties, and the resulting fire was extinguished. An unverified video of the drone strike recorded by Russian oil refinery workers began circulating on social media, which pro-Ukrainian activists used to mock the Russian air defense systems that failed to stop the drones. The video was also posted to the YouTube channel run by Ukraine’s land forces, who referred to the blaze as a “holy fire.”
