Disruption in Russian military supply and civilian evacuation is inevitable
Ukrainian forces destroyed a strategically important bridge on the 16th (local time), the 11th day of the offensive against the Russian mainland city of Kursk.
According to the BBC and others, the Ukrainian military attacked and destroyed a bridge over the Seym River near the village of Glushkovo in Kursk Oblast, about 11 km north of the Ukrainian border.
“The bridge over the Seym River in the village of Glushkovo was destroyed by Ukrainian troops,” Kursk acting governor Alexei Smirnov confirmed via Telegram.
The bridge is a facility that Russia has been using to supply weapons and equipment to its military.
The collapse of the bridge is expected to hinder the Russian military’s ability to supply troops and supplies to the area and evacuate civilians.
Meanwhile, the pro-Russian Telegram news channel ‘Mash’ reported that the bridge was destroyed by a rocket from the American High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).
Meanwhile, Ukraine and Russia have conflicting accounts of the situation.
Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Sirsky reported to President Volodymyr Zelensky on the same day that “in some places, we have advanced 1-3 km.”
Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that it had repelled Ukrainian forces in several places, including near Gordeevka, Kursk Oblast and Porekhnoye, Ruskoye. It added that in the process, Ukraine lost 220 soldiers and 19 armored vehicles.
