On a Friday morning in northeastern Ukraine, Russian drones struck an industrial zone on the outskirts of Sumy in two successive waves, killing a security guard who had survived the first impact only to fall silent after the second. Nearby, missile strikes on the settlement of Bititski brought further casualties and damage to residential areas. The attacks follow a sustained pattern of aerial pressure on Ukrainian infrastructure — a reminder that in this war, survival is sometimes measured not in days but in the interval between strikes.
