Ukrainian forces successfully targeted a large concentration of Russian troops attempting to cross the Seim River on a pontoon bridge in Russia’s Kursk region.

Professional Dron Operators

Using HIMARS launchers loaded with cluster munitions, the Ukrainian military launched a devastating attack, captured in drone footage that shows the extent of the damage, according to Digi24.

The 14th Separate Regiment of Ukraine played a key role in this operation. According to their Telegram post, the attack was carried out on Russian units that were gathering in preparation for an assault on Ukrainian positions.

“The professionalism of our drone operators, combined with modern equipment, gives us a technological edge, allowing us to effectively strike not only on the front line but also deep behind enemy lines," the regiment stated.

They emphasized that this technological advantage is shifting the tide of the conflict, bringing Ukraine closer to victory.

A Devastatin Effect

The drone footage shared on social media shows Russian troops being caught off guard as they prepared to cross the pontoon bridge over the Seim River.

The HIMARS-coordinated strike with cluster munitions had a devastating effect, severely impacting Russian forces.

This strike comes at a time when Russian forces have launched a significant counteroffensive in the Kursk region, aiming to reclaim territory lost to Ukrainian forces.

The Ukrainian military’s successful use of HIMARS in this operation underscores its continued ability to disrupt Russian advances and maintain pressure in key areas of the conflict.
