## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, central Kyiv is at elevated risk of additional civilian casualties, building damage, and short-term displacement as Russia seeks to exploit psychological gains from the SBU strike through follow-on attacks. Residents near government and security complexes are likely to experience intensified air raid alarms, localized evacuations, and disruption of essential services. This will increase demand for emergency medical aid, psychosocial support, and temporary shelter capacity inside the capital. Confirmation would be new strikes or attempted strikes causing further civilian impacts; denial would be a rapid reduction in attack tempo and no significant new damage.

## Drivers

- Russian Geran-4 strike directly hitting SBU headquarters in central Kyiv
- Concurrent Russian drone and missile attacks on Kyiv, Odesa, Kherson, and medical infrastructure
- Emerging trend of sustained nationwide attacks in Ukraine
