Kamianka (Ukrainian: Кам'янка; Russian: Каменка) is a rural settlement in Bakhmut Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at 75.6 km NNE from the centre of Donetsk city.

The War in Donbass, that started in mid-April 2014, has brought along both civilian and military casualties. A minivan, filled with explosives, was blown up at the Ukrainian check-point near the settlement on 21 July 2014, killing five Ukrainian servicemen.[1]
