Bilohirka (Ukrainian: Білогірка; Russian: Белогорка) is a village in the Beryslav Raion of Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine, about 76 kilometres (47 mi) north-east of the centre of Kherson city, beside the Inhulets river. The border of Kherson Oblast with Mykolaiv Oblast runs along the river on the north-west side of the village.
The village came under attack by Russian forces in May 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine[2] and was regained by Ukrainian forces by August/September the same year.[3][4]
