## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, the risk of civilian casualties in Ukrainian rear areas will remain elevated as Russia continues repeat strikes on already-damaged sites like Bohdanivska and high-value industrial or logistics nodes. Emergency services and police, drawn to prior impact sites, will face disproportionate danger from follow-on attacks. This pattern will increase psychological stress on first responders and accelerate the adaptation of civil defense procedures to limit re-strike exposure. Confirmation would be reports of casualties among emergency workers or police at re-struck locations; an operational lull or shift to purely frontline targets would soften this outcome.

## Drivers

- Recent deadly re-strike in Bohdanivska that killed policemen
- Multiple attacks on warehouses and industrial sites in Kyiv and Odesa regions
- Sustained trend of Russia targeting civil infrastructure as part of the drone war
