"Ukraine has destroyed a critical bridge and appears to have targeted at least one more in Russia’s western Kursk region as it tries to sever Russian supply lines and consolidate its territorial gains, a dozen days into its startling cross-border offensive.

Analysts say the destruction of the bridge — which spanned the Seym River near the town of Glushkovo, about 10 miles northwest of the battle zone in Kursk — could hamper Russia’s response to the Ukrainian attack by making it harder to move troops and materiel, although there are alternative routes.

Lt. Gen. Mykola Oleshchuk, the commander of Ukraine’s Air Force, posted a video on social media late Friday showing the bridge’s destruction. The video captured a large explosion tearing the bridge in two near a river embankment."
