Reports say several NATO countries, including UK and Germany, have allowed Ukraine to use their weapons in Kursk.
Ukraine confirmed on Wednesday that it had used weapons supplied by the United States to attack Russian bridges over the Seym river in Kursk.
On Monday, a Russian military investigator said that Ukraine had completely destroyed one of the three bridges on Seym, damaging the other two. The US has not officially commented on whether its weapons were used.
However, a Kremlin spokesperson previously accused Kyiv of using weapons built in the West in its recent incursion in the Kursk region.
“For the first time, the Kursk region was hit by Western-made rocket launchers, probably American HIMARS [High Mobility Artillery Rocket System],” Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said on August 16 on the Telegram messaging app.
Ukraine’s ongoing incursion into Kursk began on August 6.
