Fighting has escalated after Ukrainian troops smashed through the border into Russia’s Kursk region this month.
Kyiv launched an unprecedented cross-border assault into the Kursk region on 6 August, and claim to control more than 80 settlements there.
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.
The destruction of the bridge near Zvannoye comes just two days after Ukrainian forces reportedly destroyed another bridge over the Seim River in the Glushkovsky district of Kursk, 12 miles from the Ukrainian border and 42 miles northwest of the city of Sudzha.
