KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine has destroyed a key bridge in Russia's Kursk region and struck a second one nearby, less than two weeks into its stunning cross-border incursion, disrupting Russian supply routes and possibly signaling that its troops are planning to dig in.
Russia’s pro-Kremlin military bloggers have acknowledged that the destruction of the first bridge, which spanned the Seim River near the town of Glushkovo, will impede deliveries of supplies to Russian forces repelling Ukraine’s incursion, although Moscow could still use pontoons and smaller bridges in the area. Ukraine’s air force chief, Lt. Mykola Oleshchuk, on Friday released a video of a Ukrainian airstrike that split the bridge in two.
Less than two days later, Ukrainian troops hit a second bridge in Russia, according to Oleshchuk and the Russian regional governor, Alexei Smirnov.
Kyiv has been tight-lipped about the planned scope and goals of its lightning push into Russia, the largest attack on the country since World War II, which took the Kremlin by surprise and saw scores of villages and hundreds of prisoners fall into Ukrainian hands.
The Ukrainians drove deep into the Kursk region in several directions, facing little resistance and sowing chaos and panic. Ukraine’s Commander in Chief, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, claimed last week that his forces had advanced across 1,000 square kilometers (390 square miles) of the Kursk region, although it was not possible to independently verify what exactly Ukrainian forces effectively control.
But the strikes on bridges, apparently aimed at stymieing a Russian counterpush in Kursk, could mean that Kyiv intends to seek a foothold in the region — or at least signal to Moscow that it plans to do so.

Haven’t you been posting the same claims since 2022? C’mon son.
Project much? The Palestinians and Mullahs are on Putin’s side, along with you.

You sound like a broken record.
Did you ever consider the thought that most of us aren’t on Russia’s OR Ukraine’s side?
No, I didn’t think so.
Your position is, if someone doesn’t bow down and kiss your globohomo god, Zelensky’s arse like you do, they must be aligned with Putin, HAMAS, China, Iran, Satan, etc.
We HAVE to LOVE Ukraine with all our hearts or we’re traitors to America and want to see Israel destroyed. You will not consider, or tolerate, any other opinions.
You are a closed-minded, unintelligent and lazy thinker.
You have failed to produce any proof that I support Putin because there is none. So you lie just like your heroes Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Harris. Your lies have innocent American conservatives locked up for years without fair trials. You are lower than scum.
Take your leftist evil elsewhere, you vile anti-Semitic blowhard.
Ukrainian leftists like that jackass give all Ukrainians a bad name.
I wouldn’t call it an invasion, more a counter incursion.
What gets me is they accuse pro-America FReepers of being aligned with the left when in reality, zeeper's hold the same views as Democrats.
They spout whatever the UKE propaganda sources report. No analytical thinking whatsoever.
No Ukrainians involved in the incursion have defected so far. But hundreds of Muscowites have
Not me, but it’s becoming obvious now
Yes you.
Raiding into another country is one thing. Keeping that ground is another thing.
Ask Adolph.
Enough already
