Nova Kakhovka urban hromada (Ukrainian: Новокаховська міська громада) is a hromada of Ukraine, located in Kakhovka Raion, Kherson Oblast. Its administrative center is the city of Nova Kakhovka.[1]

The hromada contains eleven populated places: city and administrative center Nova Kakhovka, two urban-type settlements (Dnipriany and Kozatske), three rural settlements (Vesele [uk], Raiske, and Topolivka [uk]) and five villages (Korsunka [uk], Maslivka, Novi Laheri [uk], Obrivka and Pishchane). It has a total population of 64,792.[1]

History

The hromada was originally established on 19 October 2018.[1]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the hromada was invaded and occupied by Russia. After Ukraine's 2022 Kherson counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces retook all of right-bank Kherson Oblast, including two settlements of Nova Kakhovka urban hromada: Kozatske and Vesele. However, those villages were completely destroyed by war. Later, the village Korsunka was also flooded as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam.[2]
