Ukrainian forces have conducted a series of strikes on bridges in Russia's Kursk region, effectively disrupting Russian military logistics and supply routes. The attacks, using U.S.-supplied HIMARS rockets, targeted key bridges over the Seym River, including those near Glushkovo, Zvannoye, and Karyzh. The destruction of these bridges has isolated Russian troops south of the river, complicating their ability to receive reinforcements and supplies. As of August 19, all three major bridges over the Seym River have been destroyed, leaving only a pontoon bridge available for Russian forces. This strategic move is part of Ukraine's ongoing cross-border offensive, which began on August 6, aiming to consolidate territorial gains and cut off Russian supply lines.
