Novoaidar Raion (Ukrainian: Новоайдарський район) is a raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. The administrative center of the raion is the urban-type settlement of Novoaidar. Population: 25,294 (2013 est.)[1].
Starting Mid-April 2014 pro-Russian separatists captured several towns and raions in Luhansk Oblast;[2][3] Ukrainian forces reportedly removed the separatist from the last village in the Novoaidar Raion under separatist control, Krymsky, on 20 October 2014.[4]
To facilitate the governance of Luhansk Oblast during the War in Donbass, the Verkhovna Rada on 7 October 2014 made some changes in the administrative divisions, so that the localities in the government-controlled areas were grouped into districts. In particular, the town of Shchastya was transferred from Luhansk Municipality to Novoaidar Raion. Some areas were transferred to the raion from Slovianoserbsk Raion.[5]
