## Prediction

Russian forces are likely to follow up the morning Iskander barrage with additional missile or one‑way drone attacks on the broader Dnipro–Kharkiv urban‑industrial corridor within 24 hours, exploiting temporary air defense saturation and battle damage. This would primarily hit Ukrainian industrial plants, logistics hubs, and potentially energy nodes, indirectly constraining war production and civilian resilience. A renewed wave would reinforce Russia’s strategy of deep rear pressure rather than frontline maneuver and drive Ukrainian demands for more Western air defense interceptors. Confirmation would come via fresh launch reports and impact sites in or near Dnipro/Kharkiv rail, warehousing, or energy assets; denial would be a 24‑hour lull with strikes redirected solely to frontline positions.

## Drivers

- Recent Iskander-M strikes on Dnipro and Berestyn industrial targets
- Pattern of Russian follow-on salvos after successful strikes
- Russian strategic emphasis on degrading Ukrainian industrial rear and air defense stocks
