Footage released Friday shows a Ukrainian strike on a bridge over the Seym River in Russia's Kursk region.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said Ukraine used Western rockets, likely U.S.-made HIMARS, to destroy a bridge over the Seym River in the Kursk region, killing volunteers trying to evacuate civilians.
"For the first time, the Kursk region was hit by Western-made rocket launchers, probably American HIMARS," Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said late Friday on the Telegram messaging app.
"As a result of the attack on the bridge over the Seym River in the Glushkovo district, it was completely destroyed, and volunteers who were assisting the evacuated civilian population were killed," she said.
There was no indication of how many volunteers were killed in Friday's attack.
