A sudden drone swarm fills the sky, sending people scrambling for cover in stores, their faces etched wiht fear.
One woman, seemingly unfazed by the past threat, emerges from shelter, checks the air, and calmly resumes her shopping, departing as if the event were routine-a chillingly common occurrence.
Olga‘s neighborhood recently experienced an FPV attack that left its owner in a coma,contributing to what she describes as a “frightening” atmosphere in town.
“Now we jump at every air current,” Olga told AFP. “Day passes, night passes, and we are happy to wake up with our arms and legs still attached.”
Universal Peril
Despite road attacks,Olga continues to receive supplies for her small coffee shop,with suppliers rerouting through paths further from the front lines.
However, she remains uncertain about the future, stating, “Everything is pending now; we live day by day.”
The city’s small hospital sees a daily influx of victims.Its director, Vadym Babkov, notes that FPV attacks affect both medical personnel and civilians indiscriminately.
With road protection nets not yet fully deployed,ambulances must travel several extra kilometers,diminishing patient survival chances,according to the 60-year-old director.
“Now we are all in danger,” Vadym concluded somberly.
