About
Horishni Plavni is a mining and industrial city in Poltava Oblast, near the Dnipro and Kremenchuk. Large iron-ore workings and pellet production shaped its planned urban development.
Notes
Renamed from Komsomolsk in 2016. The modern planned city should not be confused with each of the older villages whose names inform its new name.
