## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Ukrainian forces are likely to conduct another wave of drones or missiles against Crimean power infrastructure and oil depots around Kerch and Port Kavkaz. The aim will be to compound outages already acknowledged as affecting roughly half of Crimea and to further degrade Russian air defense coverage and logistics supporting southern fronts. This will stress Russian military sustainment and could force Moscow to divert scarce high-end air defenses from other theaters, marginally easing pressure on frontline Ukrainian cities. Confirmation would include new large fires, Russian air-defense claims of dozens of drones intercepted over Crimea, and fresh reports of grid blackouts; a pause in strikes coupled with political messaging about talks would undermine this forecast.

## Drivers

- Recent successful Ukrainian strikes setting Kamysh-Burunskaya power plant and TES-Terminal ablaze
- Reports that half of Crimea suffered blackouts after overnight attacks
- Emerging trend of Ukraine escalating deep strikes on Russian energy and defense industry
- Multiple recent drone and missile attacks clustered around Kerch logistics hub
