## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, civilians in parts of Russia’s Samara and Krasnodar regions and in Ukrainian cities like Kyiv and Kharkiv are likely to experience localized power, air-quality, and infrastructure disruptions from recent strikes. Refinery fires and industrial blazes will worsen air pollution and may force temporary evacuations or shelter-in-place advisories near Samara and Ilsky, while ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks will cause further outages and building damage in Ukraine. Humanitarian agencies will face competing demands across both theaters, complicating allocation of limited emergency resources. Confirmation would be local reports of outages, evacuations, or hospital overload; denial would be swift containment of fires and minimal infrastructure damage.

## Drivers

- Massive refinery fires at Ilsky and Syzran following strikes
- Reported fires and industrial damage in Kyiv districts from recent Russian attacks
- Trend of targeting energy and industrial nodes in the Ukraine–Russia war
