Video from the tail end of 2022 that was recorded by a Ukrainian forward observation team utilizing a drone captures the moment an artillery round directly impact with a squad-sized unit of Russian troops patrolling near Vuhledar.

It's unclear exactly when this video was filmed, but according to the source it was captured near the end of 2022. The footage itself was filmed in Vuhledar. Even though the unit sustained a direct hit, it's clear from the footage that there were at least a few unaffected survivors from the initial impact of the artillery round. I imagine that the Ukrainians are requesting a fire for effect or repeat fire mission towards the end of the video.
