About
Khotsimsk is a small town on the Besed River in eastern Belarus's Mogilev Region. It serves as a district centre near the country's easternmost border with Russia.
Notes
Khotsimsk retained as English and French reference main; Khotimsk is Russian-based and Chocimsk is the dated national Belarusian form as well as Polish. French history contains an apparent copied reference to Hlousk, which is not used. National-system labels are dated 2007/UN 2012; domestic rules changed in 2023.
