Kherson (Ukrainian and Russian: Херсон, Ukrainian: [xerˈsɔn] ^ⓘ; Russian: [xʲɪrˈson]) is a port city in Ukraine that serves as the administrative centre of Kherson Oblast. Located by the Black Sea and on the Dnieper River, Kherson is the home to a major ship-building industry and is a regional economic centre.^[4] At the beginning of 2022, its population was estimated at 279,131.^[4]

From March to November 2022, the city was occupied by Russian forces during their invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian forces recaptured the city on 11 November 2022. In June 2023, the city was flooded following the destruction of the nearby Kakhovka Dam.^[5]
