Since Ukraine liberated Kherson and its surrounding areas on the western bank of the Dnipro River in November 2022, Russian troops have continued to regularly attack the territory.

Areas near the river, such as Bilozerka, remain especially vulnerable, as Russian troops are only about 10 kilometers away, leaving the village in the range of most Russian artillery and drones.  

On June 8, Russian shelling of Kherson Oblast killed one person and injured two more.
