On 7 May 2022, a school in Bilohorivka, Luhansk Oblast, was bombed by Russian forces during the Battle of Sievierodonetsk in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The death of at least two people was confirmed while authorities said the actual death toll was close to 60.
About ninety people were sheltering inside the building's basement at the time, which President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said was the majority of the village's population at that time. The building was hit by a Russian airstrike, setting the building on fire and trapping large numbers of people inside.
