## Prediction

Russian forces are likely to follow today’s heavy strike on Kyiv oblast with at least one additional large missile and drone salvo within 24 hours, focusing on logistics warehouses, grid nodes, and urban areas. Ukraine’s threefold reduction in air-defense missile stocks will translate into a higher leak-through rate, increasing civilian casualties and physical damage to transport and energy infrastructure. This will further stress Ukrainian military supply chains and civilian morale while forcing Kyiv to divert scarce interceptors from front-line coverage. Confirmation would be renewed nationwide air-raid alerts and multi-wave launches including ballistic missiles and Shahed-type drones; disconfirmation would be a sudden, publicly signaled operational pause or weather/technical grounding of Russian long-range aviation.

## Drivers

- Recent heaviest missile and drone barrages against Kyiv in months with high casualties
- Zelensky’s statement that air-defense missile deliveries are down to one-third of 2025 levels
- Reported deployment of North Korean ballistic missiles to Voronezh for strikes on Ukraine
- Russian shift toward systematic destruction of Ukrainian logistics and warehousing infrastructure
