## Prediction

Over the next day, Russia’s ongoing missile and UAV campaign will inflict additional civilian casualties and damage to residential and dual-use infrastructure in multiple Ukrainian regions, including Kyiv and Odesa oblast. Despite high interception rates, volume attacks increase the odds of critical hits on energy nodes, ports, or residential areas. Emergency services will be stretched, and power or water outages may occur locally. Humanitarian agencies will pivot resources toward shelter and repair support in the most affected urban centers.

## Drivers

- Recent salvo of 147 Russian drones with 138 reportedly downed
- Kinzhal and cruise missile strikes hitting multiple Ukrainian locations, including ports
- Ongoing high-intensity ground combat across 317 reported clashes
- Russian rhetoric about systematic targeting of Kyiv
