STORY: This video posted online by Ukrainian special forces on Wednesday shows strikes on several pontoon crossings in Russia's Kursk region.

Ukraine says it destroyed them using U.S.-made weapons.

Reuters was able to confirm parts of the video from the river, coast and terrain - which matched satellite imagery of the area.

Kyiv has announced a string of battlefield successes since it unexpectedly crossed into the Kursk region earlier this month.

But Russia claims its forces halted Kyiv’s advance in the Kursk region, and says it has gained ground in eastern Ukraine.

The military is responding to the Russian push there, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, by strengthening its forces around Pokrovsk.

Drone video released Wednesday by the Ukrainian 68th brigade showed artillery strikes on Russian troops east of Pokrovsk in Donetsk region.

Both sides reported being targeted by major drone attacks.

Ukraine smashed through the Russian border in the Kursk region on August 6th - in an attempt to divert Russian troops from the rest of the front.

Its Foreign Ministry says Kyiv has made bigger territorial gains there than Moscow has made in Ukraine this year.
