In speech, you notice many letters missing. Some or another phonological process plays a role in such reductions/elisions.
Phonological process --> reduction/elision.
Here, we can look the other way around.
fricative + stop + fricative
sibilant + stop + sibilant
stop + stop + fricative
fricative + fricative + fricative
every sibilant is a fricative.
facts: k + t + s > k +s > k:s [k:] is an allophone of /k/.
actual: k + t + sh > k + sh
question: s + t + sh > s +sh > sh
rupture: p +t + sh > p + sh
fifths: f + th + s > f + z
cloths: th + s > z
