Ukraine has destroyed a strategically important bridge over the Sim River as it continues its invasion of Russia’s Kursk region.
Russian officials say the operation near the town of Glushkovo has isolated part of the local area.

The Kremlin has used the bridge to supply its forces, and its destruction could hamper their efforts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces were strengthening their positions in Kursk and described the occupied territory as a swap fund, meaning it could be exchanged for Ukrainian territory controlled by Moscow.
Report from Commander-in-Chief Sirsky.
The front lines remain our top priority, especially in the Pokrovsk and Toretsk directions.
Kursk region operation – we are strengthening our positions and replenishing the “exchange fund” of Ukraine.
I am grateful to all of our warriors. pic.twitter.com/Mc7j7fC8j5— Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa) August 16, 2024
