Novoluhanske (; ) is a rural settlement in Bakhmut Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at 56.2 km NE from the centre of Donetsk city, on the bank of the Luhan River, opposite to Svitlodarsk.
The War in Donbass, that started in mid-April 2014, has brought along both civilian and military casualties. Since the war started, Novoluhanske was considered no man's land and neither Ukrainian or separatist forces were permanently stationed there. This situation lasted until January 2017, when the town was captured by the Ukrainian army without resistance. The Ukrainian government has since then been in control of the town, though sporadic fighting continues. Two Ukrainian servicemen were killed near the village on 27 March 2017.
On 18 December 2017, about 50 buildings, including a school, a kindergarten and a health post were damaged by an attack on the village of by Grad multiple rocket launchers. Eight people (including a six-year-old girl) were wounded as a result of the attack.
