# Reports say Ukrainian forces have hit the third and last bridge across the river Seym in Russia’s Kursk region. These bridges are a vital part of the region’s road network and their destruction or damage would significantly complicate logistics for Russia. A key Russian pro-war blogger Yuriy Podolyaka says Russian forces in the area now have to rely on pontoon bridges. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky earlier said he aims to create a buffer zone inside the Russian territory, signaling Ukraine’s intention to hold onto the land it has captured.
