Videos capture back-to-back Ukrainian strikes on the Russian bridge

Footage of the first attack on the Seym River bridge near the village of Karyzh in Kursk was released by the Khorne Group, a Ukrainian drone unit with the 116th Mechanized Brigade, on Telegram on Sunday.

It was then shared by open-source social media accounts.

In the video, the Russian bridge takes several successive hits. The munitions appear to scatter in the target area, hitting both the bridge and the water.

The images then zoom in on the damaged section of the bridge, showing significant damage to the structure.

The next day, images appeared on Telegram and then other social networks that appeared to show a subsequent attack with another weapon.

Open-source intelligence accounts have identified the weapons used in this attack as US-supplied JDAM-ERs. These weapons use kits to convert unguided bombs into precision strike options. These are air-launched weapons which were previously used to hit bridges inside Russia.

The video appears to show more damage to the bridge, which appears to have a hole in it. However, it is still standing.

Business Insider could not independently verify details of the strike footage, which online OSINT accounts located in the Karyzh area of ​​Kursk, but this is not the first time Ukraine has struck Russian bridges in Kursk.

Video footage from late last month shared by the Ukrainian air force showed a Soviet-era MiG-29 aircraft dropping US-made GBU-62 JDAM-ER bombs on Kursk bridges.

The bombs are in some ways similar to Russian glide bombs, which have previously been used to devastate Ukrainian positions. These weapons were particularly notable for their use in the Russian offensive on Avdiivka, where they helped Russia briefly achieve air superiority.

Ukraine appears to be targeting these bridges in an effort to disrupt Russian logistics and supply lines in the area as Moscow continues to redirect its forces to Kursk to counter Kiev’s invasion.
