## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to attempt at least limited follow-on drone or missile strikes on Russian rear-area targets, especially in Crimea and possibly oil or logistics assets in southern Russia, to exploit momentum from recent hits on Tuapse, Taganrog, and Voronezh. Russia will continue mass Shahed/Geran and glide-bomb strikes targeting Ukrainian cities such as Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and infrastructure nodes including rail hubs and power facilities. Neither side is likely to achieve a decisive operational breakthrough in this window, but the visibility of deep strikes will reinforce domestic and international perceptions of a widening battlespace. Naval engagements will be more limited but may feature a small number of attempts to interdict unmanned sea drones in the Black Sea using Geran-2s or similar systems.

## Drivers

- Warnings on Ukrainian Storm Shadow strikes on Taganrog, Voronezh, and Sevastopol
- Warning on Ukrainian hit on Tuapse oil site and Black Sea Fleet HQ
- Warning on Russian mass Geran-2/3 and KAB strikes on Ukrainian cities
- Emerging trend of mutual deep-strike expansion
