## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Russia’s large-scale missile and drone strikes are likely to inflict dozens of civilian casualties and trigger temporary blackouts across at least two Ukrainian regions. Hospitals, shelters, and emergency services will face surges in demand and disruptions to power-dependent care, while civilians endure renewed psychological trauma and displacement from damaged urban areas. Humanitarian agencies may need to divert resources to restore basic services and reinforce shelters in affected cities. Confirmation would be documented blackouts, casualties, and damage to residential or dual-use infrastructure; denial would require either an aborted strike wave or near-total interception with minimal civilian impact.

## Drivers

- Russia massing bombers, Kalibr missiles, and drones for coordinated strikes
- Past patterns of targeting power grids and urban centers with such barrages
- Reports of Geran-2/3 drones and Kalibrs already in flight
