Ukraine’s air forces have destroyed another strategic bridge over the Seym River in Russia’s Kursklimiting the supply capacity of a Russian group opposing the advance of Kiev’s troops, the Ukrainian commander said on Sunday (18).
Kiev said it had taken over 80 villages across more than 1,150 km² in Kursk since launching a surprise border attack on August 6, Russia’s largest invasion since World War II.
“Direction Kursk. One bridge less! The Ukrainian Air Force aviation continues to deprive the enemy of logistical capabilities with precision air strikes, which significantly affects the course of hostilities,” Mykola Oleshchuk said in the Telegram messaging app.
He posted a video showing a rising cloud from an explosion on a bridge and one of its sections destroyed. Reuters could not independently confirm the bridge’s destruction or the situation on the battlefield in Kursk.
Russia called the incursion a major provocation and vowed to retaliate with a “worthy response”, more than two and a half years after it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The bridge is the second to be attacked by Ukraine since Friday (16).
Earlier, military analysts said that there were three bridges in the area of the Ukrainian army’s offensive through which Russia supplies its forces and that two of them were destroyed or seriously damaged.
