Novotoshkivske (Ukrainian: Новотошківське; Russian: Новотошковское) is a rural settlement in Sievierodonetsk Raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at 52 km WNW from the centre of Luhansk city. Population: 2,119 (2022 estimate).[1]

The War in Donbas, that started in mid-April 2014, has brought along both civilian and military casualties. One Ukrainian soldier was killed in a skirmish near the settlement in the course of an infiltration attempt through the demarcation line by pro-Russian forces supported by 120 mm mortar fire on 1 December 2016.[2] One Ukrainian serviceman was killed by shelling on 26 January 2017.[3] One Ukrainian soldier was killed in a direct clash with separatist troops on 15 July 2017.[4]
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia launched heavy air strikes against Novotoshkivske.[5] Almost all buildings were destroyed.[6] On 26 April 2022 Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces had captured the settlement.[7]
