## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, Russia is likely to conduct at least one more coordinated missile-and-drone strike package against Ukrainian gas, power, or drone-production nodes similar to the Poltava and Zaporizhzhia attacks. These strikes will aim to keep Naftogaz and regional power grids off-balance while degrading Ukraine’s drone supply chain used for deep strikes on Russian refineries. This will increase local civilian outage risks and further strain Ukrainian air defenses near key infrastructure hubs. Confirmation would be fresh Geran/Iskander or cruise missile launches at energy/drone-linked sites; denial would be an observable lull in long-range strikes despite intact launcher capacity.

## Drivers

- Multiple near-simultaneous Russian strikes on gas extraction and drone-linked sites
- Emerging trend: Russia escalates urban and infrastructure punishment strikes
- EUCOM threat level marked HIGH with emphasis on infrastructure targeting
