Ukrainian forces disrupt key logistics with last bridge destruction in Kursk
Ukrainians managed to destroy the last of the bridges on the Sejm River in the Kursk region in the southwestern part of Russia, Telegram channels Mash and Shot reported on Monday, citing Russian military bloggers.
As the bloggers highlight, with the destruction of the bridge, part of the Glushkovo district, which borders Ukraine, has been cut off from the rest of the region. The bridge also played an important logistical role for Russian forces in the area.
"Now, Russian soldiers in the southern Glushkovo district are forced to use ferries and pontoon bridges," wrote blogger Podolaka. He added that the destroyed bridge was located near the village of Karyzh.
Evacuation of Kursk
Ukrainian forces destroyed the first bridge in the Glushkovo district on Friday and the second on Sunday.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been conducting operations in the Kursk region of Russia since August 6. As Russian media quoted Irina Tolmacheva, spokeswoman for the region's governor, on Sunday, more than 1,700 residents of the region were evacuated over the past day.
