Headline: RAW VIDEO: Ukrainian Forces Destroy Bridges During Kursk Offensive
Caption: This video footage shows Pilots of tactical aviation of the Air Force, together with their comrades of other branches of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, destroying two bridges in Russia’s Kursk region using guided bombs on Tuesday 20 August 2024. The destruction of the last standing bridge over the Seym river in the region threatens to obstruct Moscow's ability to get supplies and reinforcements to its troops in about 700 square kilometres of Russian territory. Russian units on the southern side of the river will now be dependent on pontoon bridges, which are vulnerable to Ukrainian attacks. Last week Ukraine launched a daring offensive into the Kursk region - surprising analysts and Russian forces with the attack at a time its forces were thought to be on the defensive due to Russian advances in the Donetsk region of Ukraine.
