## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, Russia is likely to conduct additional missile or drone strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, building on the attack that halted DTEK gas production in Poltava. Targets will probably include gas compression stations, storage facilities, or power plants that are easier to hit than hardened front-line positions. Such strikes aim to erode Ukraine’s energy resilience before winter and test European political will by signaling that gas risks will persist. Confirmation would be reported hits on at least one additional Ukrainian energy asset; denial would be a shift to purely front-line or tactical strikes with no new energy infrastructure damage.

## Drivers

- Confirmed Russian strike halting DTEK Naftogaz facility in Poltava
- Trend of mutual deep-strike campaigns expanding beyond front lines
- Emerging pattern of drone and missile attacks on strategic energy assets
- Use of North Korean missiles against Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia indicating deep-strike focus
