Ukraine has continued its incursion into Russia as its troops launched a strike on another bridge in the Kursk region.
Volodymyr Zelensky‘s forces targeted a bridge crossing the River Seym near the village of Zvannoye – nearly 15km from the border – in a bid to disrupt Vladimir Putin’s war machine.
Footage shared online Sunday shows an aerial strike tearing through the bridge, leaving a large hole in the road that Kyiv said ‘deprives the enemy of logistical capabilities’.
It is believed to be the second crossing in the region to be targeted by Ukrainian troops in recent days, after another bridge on the same river was destroyed on Friday.
Sharing a video of the latest attack, the commander of Ukraine’s air force, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk said on Telegram: ‘Minus one more bridge. The Air Force aviation continues to deprive the enemy of logistical capabilities with precision air strikes.’
It was not clear when the attack took place. Russian military bloggers shared photos of destruction from what appeared to be the same bridge dated Saturday.
Ukraine announced it had destroyed a separate bridge near the town of Glushkovo late on Friday, both of which cross the River Seym.
The destruction of both bridges has left Russia with limited options to cross the river in the Glushkovsky District, according to Russian military bloggers.
Kyiv claims to have taken control of more than 80 settlements including the key town of Sudzha in its lightning incursion, which caught the Kremlin off guard almost two and a half years into its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
