A massive hole has been left by the precision strike making it impassable for vehicles, but the span does not fully collapse.
It was not immediately clear what type of bomb had hit the second bridge.
The Ukrainian Air Force claimed responsibility and said it had used a “precise strike from the air”.
It comes after Ukraine destroyed another bridge to the east on Friday.
The bridges are a crucial supply point for Putin as they are near the Ukrainian border and cross the Seym River.
If Ukraine can destroy them, they would largely cut Russian troops off on the Ukrainian side despite the soldiers being in their own country.
But, satellite imagery shows Russia has already built a temporary bridge further down the river in response.
An earlier less successful strike on the first bridge had left burnt out holes and scorch marks across it.
Like that span, Ukraine could try again and get the newly bombed bridge to collapse in a follow-up strike.
Russian bloggers are now asking for donations of boats so that locals are able to cross the river.
Footage on social media showed an elderly lady having to be supported as she crossed on a makeshift vessel.
