A Russian investigator stated on Monday that Ukraine had struck and broken a 3rd bridge over the Seym River in Russia’s Kursk area a day earlier, the place Moscow’s troops have been battling Kyiv’s forces for almost two weeks.
“On August 18, as a result of targeted shelling with the use of rocket and artillery weapons against residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in the Karyzh village…a third bridge over the Seym River was damaged,” a consultant for Russia’s Investigative Committee stated.
The video assertion was posted on Russian state TV anchor Vladimir Solovyov’s Telegram channel.
Russian forces have been preventing Ukrainian troops in Kursk area since Aug. 6, when hundreds of Kyiv’s troops smashed by way of Russia’s western border in a significant embarrassment for the Russian navy high brass.
The Russian international ministry stated on Friday that Ukraine had used Western rockets, doubtless U.S.-made HIMARS, to destroy a bridge over the Seym river within the Glushkovo district.
In a separate video assertion posted to Solovyov’s Telegram channel on Sunday, a consultant for Russian investigators stated a second bridge over the Seym close to the village of Zvannoe in Kursk area used to evacuate civilians had been “damaged” by U.S.-made HIMARS.
Ukraine’s air power commander claimed on Sunday that the Ukrainian air power had destroyed that second bridge, thus limiting the availability capability of a Russian group opposing the Ukrainian advance.
Military analysts say there are three bridges within the space of the Ukrainian military’s offensive by way of which Russia provides its forces.
Yuri Podolyaka, an influential Ukrainian-born, pro-Russian navy blogger, stated on Sunday that Ukraine was prone to attempt to take management within the coming days of one other strategic bridge, over the Psyol River.
