Inhulets

The Inhulets (Ukrainian: Інгулець) or Ingulets (Russian: Ингуле́ц) is a river, a right tributary of the Dnieper, that flows through Ukraine.

The river flows through southern spurs of the Dnieper Uplands and then across the Black Sea Lowland.

On 14 September 2022 the Ukrainian government said a Russian missile attack had broken the dam, causing flooding.

However, by 2017 the vegetation was impaired by the high level of contamination of the river, due to the nearby iron ore mining industry.

[citation needed] During Kherson counteroffensive of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine between 1 September and 11 October, Ukraine regained the northern third of the rectangle between the Inhulets and Dnieper and continued to push slowly south toward Kherson and the dam at Nova Kakhovka.
