We search for the radiative penguin decays B{sub s}{sup 0}{yields}{phi}{gamma} and B{sub s}{sup 0}{yields}{gamma}{gamma} in a 23.6 fb{sup -1} data sample collected at the {upsilon}(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e{sup +}e{sup -} asymmetric-energy collider. We observe for the first time a radiative penguin decay of the B{sub s}{sup 0} meson in the B{sub s}{sup 0}{yields}{phi}{gamma} mode and we measure B(B{sub s}{sup 0}{yields}{phi}{gamma})=(57{sub -15}{sup +18}(stat){sub -11}{sup +12}(syst))x10{sup -6}. No significant B{sub s}{sup 0}{yields}{gamma}{gamma} signal is observed and we set a 90% confidence level upper limit of B(B{sub s}{sup 0}{yields}{gamma}{gamma})<8.7x10{sup -6}.
