Karma

Karma (also spelled Korma) is an urban-type settlement in Homielskaja voblasć and the administrative center of Karma District. As of the mid-2020s the town's population is a little under 8,000, with the wider district home to roughly 13,000 people. The district was among the areas of Gomel region significantly affected by the 1986 Chernobyl disaster: before the accident it counted more than a hundred settlements and around 26,000 residents, a figure that fell sharply as parts of the district were evacuated or placed under long-term radiation monitoring.
