Konka (river, Zaporizhzhia Oblast)

The Konka, also known as the Kinka, Kinska, or Kinski Vody[a] is a left tributary of the Dnieper, flowing through Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine.

It originates in the Azov Upland and flows into the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper.

[1] The name is a calque of the Crimean Tatar name of the river Yilki Su, which means "water of wild horses".

[2] A residence of the Mongol military leader Mamai also used to be located at the mouth of the river.

[3] In June 2023, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Kakhovka Dam was blown up, causing the Konka's water level to drop rapidly.
