Reuters could not independently verify details of the incident, but Russian forces engage in frequent shelling of parts of Kherson region now held by Ukraine.
Beryslav is located on the western bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson region, which was abandoned by Russian forces in late 2022.
Ukrainian troops have since established positions on the eastern bank, but Russian forces continue heavy shelling of other parts of Kherson region from areas they hold on the eastern side.
