Ukrainian forces have destroyed a Russian truck carrying artillery while it attempted to cross the Seym River in Russia’s Kursk region.
The strike was carried out through cooperation between the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade Magura and a neighboring Ukrainian unit, according to the brigade’s press service.

Footage released by the brigade shows a Russian Ural-4320 truck towing what analysts believe to be an Msta-B howitzer. The vehicle was attempting to use a flooded pontoon crossing, which had partially sunk and created a ford across the river.
Reconnaissance troops from the 47th Brigade employed a Shark drone to identify the target and provide coordinates. A strike drone from an allied unit then hit the truck, triggering an explosion of ammunition stored in the vehicle.
Open-source investigators from the WarArchive community geolocated the incident near the village of Zvannoye in the Kursk region.
Earlier in August, a Ukrainian FPV drone destroyed a bridge over the Tsata River in Russia’s Bryansk region. According to footage released by the 1st Separate Territorial Defense Brigade, the structure had been mined with TM-62 anti-tank explosives by Russian troops as a potential retreat route.
