Russia kept up its assault on Ukraine Saturday even as Ukrainian forces pushed into Russia's Kursk border region.
A Russian missile sparked a blaze in the city of Sumy that injured two people and also damaged cars and nearby buildings, said Ukraine's State Emergency Service. It said that the hit had involved an Iskander-K cruise missile and an aerial bomb. Associated Press journalists traveled to the area Friday on a Ukrainian government-organized trip. Artillery fire had blown chunks out of a statue of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin in the town's central square, while the bright yellow facade of a local administration building was scorched and pockmarked with bullet holes.
Zakharova's statement couldn't be independently confirmed, although the Washington-based think tank the Institute for the Study of War said that geolocated footage published on Aug. 16 showed that the bridge had collapsed following the strike.
