Meanwhile, ISW in a new report pointed to further advances by Ukrainian forces in the Kurdish region. "On August 18, Ukrainian forces continued their offensive along their entire advance in the Kurdish region and advanced slightly southeast of Suja," the report said.
Meanwhile, as reported , Russian "military commanders" claim to have allegedly destroyed the third and last bridge over the Seim River in the Kursk region. Allegedly, it is a bridge near the village of Karyzh, which has not yet been officially confirmed.
The photo was even circulated online, but reports began to appear in Ukrainian publics, which, according to some sources, is probably a photo of another bridge from the same region.
"If the information is confirmed, it means that all three bridges in the Kursk region that served as a supply line for the Russian army have been destroyed. Now, the Russian military in the south of the Glushkovo district will be forced to use crossings and pantone bridges," the Nashe Vremya newspaper points out.
