Ukraine’s bold cross-border advance in Russia has seen troops continue to take out key bridges in the western part of the country, while on Wednesday Moscow’s mayor accused Kyiv of attempting to launch “one of the largest ever” drone attacks on the capital.
Since the Ukrainian incursion began nearly two weeks ago, its forces are inching forward in Kursk and destroying key bridges in an effort to cripple Moscow’s logistical capabilities and disrupt supply routes.
At least two bridges were taken out of action over the Seym River in Kursk last week. Ukraine said it had used “precision airstrikes” for one, and Russia claimed Kyiv had utilized Western rockets for the other.
Afterward, Russia built at least three pontoon bridges – temporary floating ones often used in emergency or wartime situations – across the river, according to satellite imagery from Planet Labs and BlackSky.
Since then, a Ukrainian drone has targeted one of the pontoons, according to a video obtained and geolocated by CNN.
