أوكرانيا تدمر جسور روسية رئيسية
August 19, 2024 - أوكرانيا تقول إنها دمرت ثلاثة جسور استراتيجية في ظل استمرار توغلها في منطقة كورسك الروسية.
Ukrainian forces have struck and damaged a third bridge over the River Seym, near the village of Karyzh in the Kursk region of Russia. The hit could seriously complicate Russian military logistics as Moscow attempts to fend off Ukraine’s incursion into the region.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says the assault on the Kursk region is aimed at carving out a buffer zone and wearing down Moscow’s war machine, more than two years since Russia's full-scale invasion.
Russian forces are equally making gains in Ukraine's east and have claimed a string of villages in recent weeks. Local authorities in Pokrovsk have ordered families with children to urgently evacuate, as Russian forces advance towards the eastern Ukrainian city.
Kyiv said it had seized more than 80 settlements over 1,150 square km in Kursk since launching a surprise strike across the border on Aug 6, the biggest invasion of Russia since World War Two.
