“Aviation of the Air Force continues to deprive the enemy of logistical capabilities with accurate air strikes, which significantly affects the course of hostilities!” wrote Oleshchuk on his official Telegram channel. 

The Ukrainian military command does not specify which bridge was destroyed, but earlier Russian Telegram channels wrote that the Armed Forces blew up a bridge across the Seim River near the village of Zvane in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region.
