Chaplynka (Ukrainian: Чаплинка) is a rural settlement in Kakhovka Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine.

[6][7][needs update] After the Ukrainian Armed Forces recaptured Kherson in November 2022, Chaplynka fell within range of HIMARS strikes, causing Russian aviation to relocate to Berdiansk Airport.

[8] In February 2023, Ukrainian sources reported that Russian forces had imposed a round-the-clock curfew for two days and were evicting residents without proper documentation of home ownership.

[9] In November 2023, Russian appointed governor Vladimir Saldo reported that Ukrainian forces had killed at least nine people and wounded nine others in strikes on an employment center in Chaplynka.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Chaplynka became a rural settlement.
