## Prediction

Within 7 days, continued Russian missile and KAB strikes on areas like Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, combined with Ukrainian deep strikes, will further strain civilian infrastructure, leading to additional evacuations, power disruptions, and pressure on shelters and medical facilities. Municipal authorities around the Dnipro River will likely expand evacuation zones and temporary housing. International aid agencies will highlight growing needs, though large-scale new funding may lag. A contrarian case is a short operational lull due to weather or logistics, temporarily easing pressure, but structural risk remains high.

## Drivers

- Recent evacuations along Dnipro’s north bank and in Marhanets due to missile threats
- Russian KAB strikes on Chaplyne and continued missile launches
- Sustained drone warfare and mutual deep-strike campaigns trend
