Novooleksiivka railway station (Ukrainian: Новоолексіївка) is a major junction railway station in Novooleksiivka, Ukraine.
History
The station was opened on 14 October 1874 as part of the Melitopol–Dzhankoi line.
In 2014, the line to Crimea was closed due to the Russian occupation of Crimea. Consequently, all lines that previously were linked to Crimea now end at this station.
On 24 February 2022, the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops from occupied Crimea crossed the border and seized control of Novooleksiivka.
On 8 March 2022, an armored Russian train was recorded by locals using the lines near the station. The train was widely believed to be the Baikal, which had previously participated in Russian military drills in Crimea in 2016.
On 11 July 2023, Ukrinform published a report from a Telegram channel describing an explosion at a Russian ammunition depot, a building that was previously the station's coal warehouse. The report outlined how the shells inside exploded over the course of roughly three hours. It was later revealed that the explosion was caused by a Ukrainian drone attack.
