Ukraine in Kursk: Russian reinforcements destroyed in one of the bloodiest strikes of the war

A Ukrainian rocket attack left a trail of dead Russian soldiers and burnout military vehicles in “one of the bloodiest strikes of the war”. Night-time footage emerged early on Friday showing what appeared to be a line of military trucks ablaze on a road in the Kursk region of Russia. A separate video shared on Russian social media on Friday appeared to show a car driver passing the aftermath of the apparent strike. The bodies of dead Russian soldiers could be seen in the backs of some of the 14 trucks that were in the convoy. Other vehicles appeared to be completely burnt out after the strike, which Russian military bloggers said was carried out with US-donated Himars rocket launchers. The convoy appeared to be transporting reinforcements to tackle Kyiv’s surprise raid on the Kursk region. The Telegraph geolocated the two video clips to the E38 highway in the Russian town of Oktyabr'skoe, more than 20 miles from the border with Ukraine. The convoy was likely travelling to reinforce the Russian presence in the settlement of Korenevo about 12 miles away, the closest point Russian sources have reported combat. #ukraine #russia #kursk
