Nova Kakhovka urban hromada 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 (Raiske, and) and five villages (Maslivka,, Obrivka and Pishchane). It has a total population of 64,792.

History

The hromada was originally established on 19 October 2018.

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]
