## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, the Russian strike on Pivdennyi and any follow-on attacks in Odesa region are likely to cause localized housing and infrastructure damage but will not yet trigger large-scale new refugee flows beyond existing war displacement. However, damage to oil terminals and fuel storage will exacerbate local energy and transport insecurity, affecting hospitals, agriculture, and civilian mobility. Humanitarian agencies will prioritize fuel supply for critical services and may issue warnings about potential disruptions. Civilian morale will be impacted by renewed strikes on key economic infrastructure.

## Drivers

- Reported Russian strikes on Pivdennyi oil port facilities
- Ongoing Russian high-tempo attack pattern on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure
- Existing robust humanitarian presence in Odesa region
- Ukraine’s adaptation to prior infrastructure attacks reducing sudden mass flight
