A Russian investigator said on Monday that Ukraine had struck and damaged a third bridge over the Seym river in Russia’s Kursk region a day earlier, where Moscow’s troops have been battling Kyiv’s forces for nearly two weeks.
“On August 18, as a result of targeted shelling with the use of rocket and artillery weapons against residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in the Karyzh village…a third bridge over the Seym river was damaged,” a representative for Russia’s Investigative Committee said.
Russian forces have been fighting Ukrainian troops in Kursk region since Aug. 6, when thousands of Kyiv’s troops smashed through Russia’s western border in a major embarrassment for the Russian military top brass.
The Russian foreign ministry said on Friday that Ukraine had used Western rockets, likely U.S.-made HIMARS, to destroy a bridge over the Seym river in the Glushkovo district.
It’s almost as it the Ukranians are hitting strategically important targets to further their war goals instead of hospitals, daycares, book printing factories, coffee shops and DIY centers.
It’s funny how strategic targets magically become ‘strategically important’ only when it’s convenient for Russia, but when Ukraine does it, suddenly everything is just hospitals and coffee shops, right?
