Donetsk Sergei Prokofiev International Airport (Ukrainian: Міжнародний аеропорт "Донецьк") (IATA: DOK, ICAO: UKCC) is a former airport located 10 km (6.2 mi) northwest of Donetsk, Ukraine, that was destroyed in 2014 during the war in Donbas. It was built in the 1940s and 1950s and rebuilt in 1973 and again from 2011 to 2012. The airport is named after twentieth-century composer Sergei Prokofiev, who was a native of Donetsk Oblast. The former airport has been controlled by pro-Russian separatist forces since 2015 and has been a frequent battleground.
