## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Russia is likely to conduct at least one follow-on missile or UAV wave against Ukrainian energy sites (Kremenchuk, Pryluky) and Odesa-region export ports (Yuzhnyi/Chornomorsk). The aim will be to exploit Ukrainian interceptor expenditure from the 26-missile barrage and compound damage to refining and port infrastructure. This will further strain Ukraine’s air defenses and may force Kyiv to reallocate scarce Patriot cover away from front-line areas. Confirmation would be new nationwide air-raid alerts and strikes on the same or adjacent nodes; denial would be a quiet night with no large-scale (>10 missile) salvos.

## Drivers

- Large mixed 26-missile barrage already targeting Kremenchuk, Odesa, Yuzhnyi, Kyiv, Poltava
- Pattern of Russian repeated strikes on energy and port infrastructure once targeted
- Emerging trend of infrastructure warfare and deep strikes in Russia–Ukraine conflict
