War destroyed hangar on the frontline positions in the “Industrial Zone” of Avdiivka. Avdiivka, near Donetsk Airport and Donetsk City (under control of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic), the center less than one mile from the frontline, was one of several towns captured by Russian-backed separatists in April 2014. In July 2014, after heavy fighting, Ukrainian forces regained control of the town from the insurgents. Avdiivka remains a frequently shelled frontline town and one of the hottest spots in the continuing war in the Donbas, despite ceasefire agreements. Fighting for the “Industrial Zone,” where Ukrainian forces have established fortified positions to control a key highway connecting occupied territories, has greatly intensified since 2016.
