Ukraine Russia War: The Ukrainian army has achieved another success in the second week of its operation in Russia. The Ukrainian army said that it has destroyed a bridge considered strategically important for the Russian army. The Ukrainian army released aerial footage of the attack on the bridge on Sunday, in which a large cloud of smoke can be seen flying after the attack. It is being told that this was done over the Seym River in Zvyanoye.A few hours after the attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the purpose of the military incursion in Kursk includes the creation of a 'buffer zone' to prevent Russian attacks. In this war going on since 2022, the Ukrainian army is running the biggest operation against Russia so far.“Another bridge destroyed”Ukraine Air Force commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk wrote on social media with footage of the attack, “Another bridge is destroyed.” General Oleschuk further said, “The Ukrainian Air Force jets continue to destroy the enemy's supply capabilities, such operations particularly affect the enemy.This bridge built over the Seym River in Zvyanoye is considered important for the movement and logistics supply of the Russian army. Earlier this week, Ukraine destroyed another bridge built over the Seym River near the city of Glushkovo. That bridge was also used by the Kremlin to supply its troops.After more than two weeks have passed, it seems that the Ukrainian army is planning to stay in the Russian border and expand the scope of the operation. Russia has been demanding the withdrawal of the Ukrainian army since the beginning of the attack. Russia has evacuated its population from the Kursk region and they are displaced and forced to live in tents.What did Moscow say about the intrusion?Moscow has called this intrusion a major provocation and has vowed to give a befitting reply. As Ukraine continues to advance into western Russian territory, Russian forces are also making inroads into the eastern part of Ukraine and have captured several villages in recent weeks.After this development in the Russia-Ukraine war, the fear of a major war has once again increased in the world. Russia has also threatened to use its nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Recently, Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog IAEA, has warned that the nuclear security situation at the Zaporizhia power plant in Russian-occupied Ukraine is deteriorating due to drone attacks around the site.
