## Prediction

Ukraine is likely to attempt at least one additional long‑range drone strike against Russian logistics or airfield infrastructure in the next 24 hours, leveraging momentum from hits on Ozon and Magnit hubs and multiple airbases. Targets will probably be in the Rostov–Krasnodar–Stavropol belt or Crimea, where prior strikes have exposed gaps in Russian air defenses. Successful strikes would erode Russian rear‑area security and force Moscow to divert air defense assets away from frontline coverage. Confirmation would be Russian or Ukrainian reporting of new fires/explosions at depots or airfields; denial would be a complete absence of such incidents despite favorable weather and precedents.

## Drivers

- Recent Ukrainian drone attacks on Ozon distribution centers and Magnit logistics facility
- Confirmed strike on Kamensky solid rocket fuel plant in Rostov
- Emerging trend of Ukraine targeting Russia’s civilian logistics backbone
- New UK Storm Shadow technology transfer encouraging deeper strikes
