A Russian investigator said on Monday that Ukraine had struck and damaged a third bridge over the Seym river in Russia’s Kursk region a day earlier, where Moscow’s troops have been battling Kyiv’s forces for nearly two weeks.
“On August 18, as a result of targeted shelling with the use of rocket and artillery weapons against residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in the Karyzh village…a third bridge over the Seym river was damaged,” a representative for Russia’s Investigative Committee said.
Russian forces have been fighting Ukrainian troops in Kursk region since Aug. 6, when thousands of Kyiv’s troops smashed through Russia’s western border in a major embarrassment for the Russian military top brass.
The Russian foreign ministry said on Friday that Ukraine had used Western rockets, likely U.S.-made HIMARS, to destroy a bridge over the Seym river in the Glushkovo district.
It’s almost as it the Ukranians are hitting strategically important targets to further their war goals instead of hospitals, daycares, book printing factories, coffee shops and DIY centers.
No no, haven’t you heard? They targeted the playground, missed, and hit a strategically key bridge. Russia wouldn’t lie to us now, would it?
Battle of survival vs bombing to terrorize.
Kind of explains the differing mindsets of the leadership in each nation.
But how can they win this war if they don’t hit civilian? Nobody win a war like that! (/s)
It’s funny how strategic targets magically become ‘strategically important’ only when it’s convenient for Russia, but when Ukraine does it, suddenly everything is just hospitals and coffee shops, right?
If Russia didn’t strike so many hospitals and residential buildings people wouldn’t have grounds to criticize them for it. Weird ass take from a brand new account on some obscure instance, shocker

Ok, your take still makes no sense whatsoever.
One does not speak unless one knows.

Not much of a Mandalorian I take it.
"On August 18, as a result of targeted shelling […] against residential buildings and civilian infrastructure […] a third bridge […] was damaged
Comedy gold right there. What is it now? The Ukrainians targeted residential buildings but missed so badly that they hit a strategically important target? Right…
