On Saturday, Ukrainian troops in the village of Zvannoe in the Kursk region seriously damaged the bridge over the Seim River. Earlier, Ukrainians had utterly destroyed the bridge in Glushkovo. "The Ukrainian armed forces are successfully cutting off a large area of the Kursk region," journalist Andriy Tsaplienko reported.

Ukrainian military journalist Andriy Tsaplienko reported on the matter late at night on August 16th. "One more bridge down on the Seim River in the village of Zvannoe," he wrote.

Many local Telegram channels reported the bridge damage. Additionally, it was noted that this is the second of three bridges on the Seim River that have been destroyed.

On Friday, Ukrainian troops destroyed the bridge in the Glushkovo area (Kursk region). Russian media reported that Ukraine allegedly fired two HIMARS rockets, and the second strike destroyed the crossing.
