According to the Russian Telegram channel Mash, the information was confirmed by the adviser to the acting governor of the Kursk region, Roman Alekhin.

According to the Russian side, Ukrainian troops launched HIMARS strikes and destroyed a bridge over the Seim River in the Kursk region.

"The enemy has moved on to implement a plan to seize a section of the Glushkovsky district across the Seim River," said an adviser to the acting governor of the Kursk region.

Part of the Glushkovsky district is now effectively cut off from the Kursk region. We are talking about Tyotkino, Popovo-Lezhachi, Volfino, and about 27 other settlements. The only way to evacuate from there is across the river, and all bridges have been destroyed.
