## About

Bunhe is a mining town beside Yenakiieve in Donetsk Oblast, on the Bulavynka River. Its history is closely connected with the Yunkom coal mine.

## Notes

Renamed from Yunokomunarivsk to Bunhe in 2016. Bunge reflects Russian spelling and the original German surname; it should not automatically be described as a misspelling. The Ukrainian spelling Бунґе is found but its official status is unverified.
