Ukrainian Himars artillery has destroyed a key bridge across a river in the Kursk region that Russia was using to reinforce its embattled soldiers.
Russian military bloggers said the destruction of the road bridge across the Seym River outside the village of Glushkovo would force Russian reinforcements on a dangerous detour.
“If (when) the enemy manages to destroy all good crossings, it will cut off the entire group of the Russian Armed Forces defending in the Glushkovo district,” the Russian Telegram channel Military Observer posted.

Putin=I'm guna cry about it 😂😂😂
It takes more than a bridge to build a nation. Dictators never learn. Will Russians?
Ukrainian Himars? how does that work when the Himars is actually NATO?
WE ARE SO F*****!!! The fact it may have been Ukraine, but they used OUR 🇺🇲💵, OUR 🇺🇲💣. IT'S ALL OVER, UNLESS THE 2024 ELECTION DECIDES IT ALL.
Russia got 3 himars and 1 mig-29 for this joke
"Ukrainian" Himars 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wasnt HIMARS was the french glide bomb
Rusi ruse i palw pi ukraini sad nek osjete kako je to…Free Ukraina😅😮😢😊
Putin: It’s okay everything under control this just 3 day special military operation 🤣
Wait… Did Ukraine just destroyed their own bridge in exchange for PR? 😅
They're also depleting their reserves.
The truth is: This is how Ukraine prevents Russia from counterattacking, but it is also what prevents Ukraine from advancing further.
Russia will not rush to counterattack, but will take advantage of Ukraine's lack of troops in other areas to seize more land.
The logistics problem for more than 10,000 Ukrainian expeditionary troops is not easy, if Ukraine cannot meet the logistics, these 10,000 troops will quickly melt away.
Hi
Kaaa-BOOOOM-skii!!
❤🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Ukraine says struck second key bridge in Russia's Kursk region
Without the aide of Canada and USA and …..
so this is a false headline as it doesn’t include the others helping the Ukraine.
Misinformation
The fact this could cause the use of nuclear weapons is now a true threat thanks to the interference of others.
Ko upravlja himarsima? Ne bih rekao da su ukrainci…
This war has all the characteristics to go on for years Neither side seems to want to give in
We will see blows from one side and responses from the other
I wonder if the population hasn't had enough yet It is clear that they have a superhuman level of endurance
ukraine's special military operation into russia seems to be going well. most of the russian army is in ukraine. nobody tending to the home fires.
The bridge had recently been renovated and strenghtened after a lengthy bureaucratic tangle over costs and licences etc for 27 years.
For 27 years the local authorities bicker just like in Clochemerle, then when they finally, finally get their beautiful bridge, kaboom!!
The Russian military has dealt more blows to Ukrainian armed formations which recently infiltrated the region of Kursk in southwest Russia.
In its August 18 briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that the Sever Group of Forces had located and eliminated multiple Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups in forest belts near the settlements of Alekseyevskoye, Safonovka and Sheptukhovka.
Several attacks by Ukraine’s 22nd, 61st, and 115th mechanized brigades as well as the 82nd Air Assault Brigade were also repelled near the settlements of Komarovka, Olgovka, Russkoye and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye, according to the ministry, which noted that the Ukrainian losses amounted to one tank, five armored fighting vehicles, one engineering vehicle and more than 30 troops.
The ministry also said that air and artillery strikes hit Ukrainian gatherings close to the settlements of Borki, Fanaseyevka, Cherkasskaya Konopelka, Novoivanovka, Mikhailovka, Snagost and to the south of Kurilovka.
It added that an American-made M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) of Kiev forces was destroyed by a missile strike near the settlement of Bezdrik in the Ukrainian region of Sumy, which neighbors Kursk.
Other strikes on Sumy hit Ukrainian reserves, ammunition and fuel depots of the 22nd Mechanised Brigade, 80th Air Assault Brigade, 103rd, and 107th territorial defense brigades near the settlements of Atinskoye, Belopolye, Vorozhba, Kiyanitsa, Kositsa and Shalgino, according to the ministry.
“Over the past 24 hours, the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses have amounted to more than 300 Ukrainian troops and 27 units of hardware, including six tanks, one infantry fighting vehicle, two armored personnel carriers, 18 armored fighting vehicles, four motor vehicles, one MLRS launcher, and two units of engineering vehicles, including one obstacle-clearing vehicle,” the ministry said.
“Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses have amounted to 3,460 Ukrainian troops, 50 tanks, 25 infantry fighting vehicles, 45 armored personnel carriers, 262 armored fighting vehicles, 115 motor vehicles, five SAM [surface-to-air missile] launchers, seven MLRS launchers, including three HIMARS and one M270 MLRS, 25 field artillery guns, four electronic warfare stations, four units of engineering vehicles, including one obstacle-clearing vehicle and one UR-77 mine-clearing vehicle,” it concluded.
In addition, the ministry released videos showing recent artillery strikes on Ukrainian gatherings and an attack with a Lancet loitering munition against an armored personnel carrier in Kursk.

Devem fazer na Russia o que foi feito em Butcha. Olho por olho…
Glide-bomb. The HIMARS put some holes in the deck. Then they got blown up.
Send more HIMARS, I guess.
Slava Ulraini!
This is what will happen if china tries to invade taiwan.
Putin will call this 'terrorism' instead of a counter-special military operation…
And u forgot about Challenger battle tank 😅
I believe that while 4 missiles hit the bridge (as can be seen by the impact marks prior to the main strike) be they ATACMS or drones, they were unable to do enough damage.
This was also seen many months ago when multiple hits were unable to bring smaller bridges as thoroughly down. There is a non-zero probabity that this strike also was a "test" of operational plans to take out the Kerch bridge from the air.
In short, JDAM or JDAM-ER not HIMARS. The launch vehicle may or may not have been an F16 – although that would be the logical launch platform.

SO IRRITATING !! I Cannot look at NBC, ABC, CNN, FirstPost, Times of India, Hundustan Times or other Media because they've Warped Reporting all our of Shape and are completely Not to be Trusted !!
France 24 and Sky News seem to be Honest, those others Suck !!
IDK why Indian Times dont publish this kind of news, only favors Russia?
There's goes Putin's life line!
Zelensky is a stupid and arrogant guy, attacking Kursk without foreseeing the consequences. he squandered the lives of soldiers and equipment donated by the US and Nato😂😂
Русские ребята, которые пришли сюда обсудить «плохую» Россию и её власть вместе с нашими ГЛУБОКО УВАЖАЕМЫМИ американскими толерантными «друзьями». – Если вас не устраивает Россия и вы при этом гражданин Российской федерации, рекомендую вам уехать отсюда в великую Америку, где проводятся ежедневные гей парады с цирком уродов. Спасибо за внимание.
И да, американские животные думающие что мы фашисты, изолируйтесь, ибо украинские хряки не только вторглись в нашу территорию, но и унижают людей, заставляя их говорить на украинском языке, при этом запрещая Русский ( tgk Topor 18+ (Топор 18+), Pryamoy efir Kursk (Прямой эфир, Курск)
И да, я уверяю вас, украины не будет скоро, ну вот вообще не будет, запомните мои слова))
Слава России.
