## Prediction

Ukraine is likely to mount at least one additional long-range drone or missile strike on Russian refineries or occupied Crimea power infrastructure within 24 hours. The strikes will aim to compound damage at the Yaroslavl refinery and Tavricheskaya thermal power plant, tightening pressure on Russian fuel logistics and Crimean basing. This directly affects Russian military operations, regional civilian energy reliability, and contributes to a risk premium in refined product markets. Confirmation would be new FIRMS fire detections at Russian energy sites, local reports of explosions near refineries or power stations, and Russian air-defense claims; denial would be a pause in deep strikes despite demonstrated capacity and favorable weather.

## Drivers

- Recent Ukrainian strike on Yaroslavl refinery
- Up to 310 drones launched toward Crimea and western Russia
- Emerging trend of systematic deep-strikes on energy and transport
