The second pontoon bridge built across the Seim River by the Russian military has disappeared, and near the place where it was there is smoke, presumably from an explosion.

New satellite images taken today, August 19, show that the pontoon bridge previously built by the Russian military between the villages of Zvannoye and Glushkovo in the Kursk region of Russia has disappeared - and smoke is rising 500 meters away. Earlier, the fire near the bridge was spotted by NASA’s FIRMS satellites, which record fires on the earth’s surface. The Russian army began setting up pontoon bridges across the Seim River after attacks by Ukrainian troops advancing from the south on fixed bridges in the area. Another pontoon bridge, built east of the village of Glushkovo, is still visible in the August 19 image.

    Looking like Ukraine is going to push west, there isn’t an easy way for Russia to resupply their front south of this river as I can’t see any situation where these pontoon bridges are allowed to get any significant supply across.
