The same day Crimea burned from Ukrainian drones, at the other end of the front the ground was shaking under Russian bombs. Over Kharkiv, Su-34 jets dropped guided aerial bombs of the FAB-1500 and FAB-3000 type - weapons that don't aim for precision, but flatten everything in front of them with sheer force.

The targets were industrial: warehouses holding Ukrainian military equipment, ammunition depots, fuel tanks and hangars with drone parts, as well as a drone assembly plant in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Witnesses say "Kharkiv shook when the bombs hit their targets," comparing the blast to a volcanic eruption. That's not a poetic image - the FAB-3000 is a bomb weighing three tonnes.

And here comes the part that makes every statistic human: among at least 10 wounded there are also four children. When people talk about "military infrastructure," it's easy to forget it stands in the middle of cities where families live. The bomb makes no distinction between an ammunition depot and a street a hundred metres away.

The two strikes on the same day - the Ukrainian one on Crimea, the Russian one on Kharkiv - tell the truth about this war better than any speech: nobody wins, only the places that burn keep changing. And while both sides compete over who can do more damage, the price is paid by those who have neither planes nor drones - the ordinary people beneath them.
